Hi, Kim!
Kim Kardashian brought her design talents to Milan Fashion Week this season, teaming up with Dolce & Gabbana for the house’s spring/summer 2023 fashion show.
Models walked the runway in a collection of reworked archive looks curated by Kardashian, 41, as a black-and-white video of the Skims founder eating spaghetti and the sound of paparazzi cameras played in the background, according to Elle UK.
The color palette remained mostly blacks, metallics, and leopard prints, with some models sporting chokers that read “KIM” in bold letters.
And the reality star herself appeared to take a bow at the end of the show, dressed in a sparkly black dress.
“I always loved the beautiful, quintessential looks of the 90s and 2000s… feminine, sassy, they always made me feel so confident and glamorous. The moment you put on a D&G dress, you can feel that the intention when it was designed and made was to celebrate the woman who wears it. To make her feel like she could do anything, be anything, possess her confidence and her beauty,” Kardashian wrote in a lengthy Instagram post after the show.
She also posted a behind-the-scenes look at the healing process, wearing a spectacular leopard catsuit with gloves and leading the models in her look. She said the collection was made up of “the most iconic #DolceGabbana pieces from 1987 to 2007, mixed together through spontaneous reinterpretation creating a perfect collection,” adding: “Each piece is not just an item, it’s a unique keepsake.” “.
Kardashian also seemed to take inspiration from Marilyn Monroe once again, channeling the blonde bombshell in the show’s ads leading up to the big event.
Additionally, the mother of four children was a muse to her own family; her daughters Chicago, 4, and North, 9, not only sat front row alongside Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner for the show, they also wore mini versions of the archival Dolce & Gabbana styles their mother wore. had worn before.
In fact, the family’s connection to Dolce & Gabbana goes back many years, but it wasn’t always a positive one: In 2019, designer Stefano Gabbana called the Kardashian-Jenners “the cheapest people in the world” in an Instagram comment. .
That same year, he and his partner Domenico Dolce found themselves at the center of a racism scandal that resulted in the cancellation of their fashion show in China. In 2015, the design duo also apologized for calling children born via IVF “synthetic offspring” and “chemicals in a rented womb.”
Kim has two children via surrogacy and Khloé welcomed her son via surrogacy in July.
It seems all has been forgiven, however, as Dolce & Gabbana hosted Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s wedding in Italy in May, dressing the entire family in new and archive looks for the multi-day celebrations (and showing off a preview of some of the selections they made in the #CiaoKim collection).
And the brand’s association with the Kardashians is anything but cheap: Page Six Style previously reported that Kourtney’s wedding netted Dolce & Gabbana many millions in media shock value.
How much Kim’s touch will charge remains to be seen.
