Leni Klum, daughter of supermodel Heidi Klum, graces the August issue of The Daily Front Row, modeling a variety of high-fashion looks. The 22-year-old stunner's latest magazine feature comes after she and her mother faced public criticism in October 2022 for their joint lingerie campaign with the Italian brand Intimissimi.
For the cover shoot, photographed by Jordan Millington-Liquorice and styled by Matthew Mazur, Leni posed against a palm tree in a ruched orange dress. Other images in the spread show her in a geometric print skirt and matching jacket that was open at the chest, and in a form-fitting feathered dress. One notable image features Klum in a towel, with clothes hanging on a line nearby.
Addressing the previous backlash over the Intimissimi campaign, Leni stated she is comfortable with her body, a sentiment she attributes to her upbringing. "Growing up with a mom who was comfortable with her body made it easy for me to be comfortable with my body," she told the publication. She recounted initial nerves before the joint Vogue Germany cover shoot in 2021 but found her mother's presence reassuring.
"I was so scared. I was freaking out on the morning of [shooting] it," Leni admitted, adding that her mother's presence helped alleviate her fears. She noted that the interview portion of the Vogue shoot was more nerve-wracking than the modeling itself, as it was her first time speaking with a journalist. She also mentioned that her mother held her hand throughout the experience.
Leni Klum is Heidi Klum's eldest child, with Italian Formula 1 executive Flavio Briatore. She was raised by her adoptive father, Seal, and has three younger siblings from her mother's marriage to the singer. Originally from Los Angeles, Leni recently relocated to New York City for her modeling career.
She described her preference for a "chill" personal style, favoring basics and oversized clothing, often wearing her boyfriend's clothes. While she enjoys dressing up, her approach differs from her mother's elaborate Halloween costumes, a holiday Leni also appreciates.
