While the world waits with bated breath to see how Vera Wang’s Kardashian-inspired David’s Bridal collection will fare after Kris and Kim’s union predictably unexpectedly flamed out, the famed bridal designer isn’t worrying about it.

Since getting her start in the modeling biz in Scotland at the tender age of 14, Hendrick has been steadily rising in the modeling ranks.
