Kim Kardashian's sister will receive the prestigious award next month during New York Fashion Week.

Kendall Jenner has just been announced as the winner of the "Fashion Icon of the Decade" award at the 2017 Fashion Media Awards, according to FashionWeekDaily. The event will take place on September 8, as part of New York Fashion Week.

Plus-size model Ashley Graham will host the show. Other awards will also be presented, including "Creative of the Year" for fashion photographer Mario Testino and "Male Model of the Year" for Jordan Barrett.

However, her selection for the grand prize surprised many fashion fans. Many Twitter accounts posted memes to illustrate their disappointment and skepticism.

"The girl always poses boring, hasn't even done 10 different photoshoots, and now people are giving her the title of 'Fashion Icon of the Decade'. Tragedy!" one account wrote. Meanwhile, another exclaimed: "Decade? She was 11 a decade ago. Have you seen what the Kardashians wore 10 years ago?"
