She later moved to Los Angeles to open a car garage. Soon after, Jenny was approached by a casting director while saddling her motorcycle outside an L.A. nightclub and introduced to Calvin and Kelly Klein. The designers were looking for a singular, androgynous face to represent their new fragrance, CK One. She landed her first fashion show for Calvin Klein at the Hollywood Bowl, followed by the pioneering black and white ad campaign. After came Banana Republic's "American Beauty" campaign by Bruce Weber, which cast Jenny front and center on a Times Square billboard.

Eyeworks and the United Colors of Benetton. In addition, she also modeled in the world-renowned Pirelli calendar and was featured in beauty campaigns for Clinique and Shiseido.
