Kenya Kinski-Jones’ LA lineage might be starry—dad is music producer Quincy Jones, mom is actress Nastassja Kinski, and Rashida Jones is her half-sister—but the model du jour has her feet firmly on the ground. A self-professed bookworm and an animal activist who graduated from Loyola Marymount with a degree in English last December, the 23-year-old is more likely to be found mucking out her horse’s stall in Topanga than club-hopping in West Hollywood. Kinski-Jones made her editorial debut in a Bruce Weber shoot for Vogue España in 2011, and recently landed coveted campaigns for Stella McCartney and Calvin Klein. Yet she handles the attention like a true Californian. “I’m taking it day by day,” she smiles.
