Kendall Jenner - the new generation supermodel with 83.1 million followers on Instagram - has been a prominent face in the fashion world in the past few years and has covered many prestigious catwalks. 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 boringly, 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?"
