I accept a confession — I had never been a fan of Kim Kardashian, but I am now, and I have fashion to give thanks for it. Before you spit out your java and throw shade in the comment box, let me say that I could probably list a million reasons why Kim Kardashian'south celebrity is a sign of the apocalypse.
My biggest problem with Kim has always been that she's boring: Almost every conversation nearly her circles back to her looks — and what she'south wearing.
Only recently, Kim has been stepping out looking, well, nice — wearing the type of outfits that would be deemed chichi on whatever other woman. Gone are the disgusting tracksuits, colorful bandage dresses, and slinky Joyce Leslie-esque fare that made her look like a sausage in lipstick. She traded them for unproblematic cropped tops, jeans and tees, and a garrison of Max Mara coats — all body conscious, certain, but evocative of a certain fashion savoir-faire. Her wait is sexed-up Céline, and Kim now maintains a primarily neutral palette of expensive, innocuous basics; she'due south fifty-fifty mastered monochrome.
All of this has transpired over the by half dozen months, since around Paris Fashion Week terminal September, when Kim came out of hiding after giving birth to baby Due north West. If it comes off as some sort of audition, information technology's because it probably was — last month, after weeks of speculation and rumored pleas from Kanye West, Vogue Editor-in-Main Anna Wintour put Kim Kardashian on the April cover of the most venerated way magazine of all time. And the Internet. Went. Nuts.
The much-discussed tweet from Sarah Michelle Gellar, a '90'south mode darling and 1-fourth dimension go-to for a skilful glossy cover, seemed to drive the point home: People are terribly uncomfortable with the idea of Kim Kardashian in relation to fashion.
The industry loves its ivory tower, where skinny starlets like Kate Bosworth and Alexa Chung can retain permanent residence for doing little more than what Kim does. Other than for uses of irony and tokenism, fashion typically doesn't like women who aren't sample-sized, and it doesn't similar things as common or relatable as reality TV, permit alone individuals who made a name on the heels of a sex tape. (A woman who has sexual activity?? Shriek!)
Nonetheless, the times they are a-changin'. Givenchy artistic manager Riccardo Tisci — a demigod to the style set — has been unwavering in his genuine support of Kim. He dressed her for terminal year's Met Gala (after, in a photograph roundup of the effect's best attire, Vogue.com conspicuously sliced Kim out of a photo with Kanye, leaving her floral-gloved hand dangling). Provocateur Carine Roitfeld put Kim on the comprehend of her arty fashion publication CR Way Book back in October, months before Wintour did it, and was quick to compare her to some other pot-stirring icon.
"She's controversial just so was Marilyn Monroe, and I ever like controversial people," she told Time Out London.
In a release issued after the uproar, Wintour confirmed that West did not beg, and she defended her pick of putting a Kardashian on the cover, saying, "Part of the pleasure of editing Faddy . . . is being able to feature those who define the culture at whatever given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we meet information technology."
I completely agree. Shame Kim for being useless, insipid and déclassé, just the fact is that she matters to people. She matters and then much that no ane tin can stop talking about her, and while some will continue to use her as a punching bag and wait tirelessly for her comeuppance, the wiser volition have that Kim is hither to stay, to live with us in the public consciousness for as long as we'll take her — and at least she's doing it stylishly.
Kim's not a size 0 or configured to meet whatsoever white-bread standard of beauty, unlike sister Kendall, who'due south tall, pale and slender, and thus qualified to walk for Chanel. So yes, when I run across Kim in a fashionable ensemble, I silently cheer. Good for you, girl, y'all're learning, and this world that's been congenital around judging your looks can finally say something nice for a change. You're pulling yourself together, making every endeavour to await and feel your personal best, and ultimately, that's all manner's really worth, anyway.
