Amidst the recent Taylor Swift backlash over Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, it appears that the two are not only unhinged but also backing each other up in the fashion realm. Especially when it comes to the rare-ended, fashion-forward sartorial choices of Kanye West, there are no shortcomings of admirers. While North West has often taken much inspiration from his baggy clothes to shape her wardrobe, it appears that his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, has once again gone all out to get the same for her.

In between the power play clashes between Taylor Swift and Kanye West-Kim Kardashian, Kardashian has gone above and beyond for her children to get their hands on some Ye merchandise.

When it comes to Kim Kardashian, her socials are always crowded with personal as well as work modules. While one has gotten used to her flaunting many of her brainchild, this time, her Instagram story had a special mention. The SKIMS founder recently took to her Instagram stories to share a ‘kanYe West’ T-shirt from Ye’s premium merchandise embossed with his name.

The T-shirt was all-black with towers and stars-symbolic graphics embellished on it. Atop the garment, there laid a picture of Kanye West wearing the same. She also revealed that Bobby Naugle, who had designed the original ‘College Dropout’ merch for Ye reached out to her in 2022 to gift the same to North. Although the designer was approached by several auction houses, he felt it was “most appropriate” to give them to her children, which came with the iconic baby pink RL polo tee for which the billionaire mother thanked him as well.

Even though North West had revealed her fashion inspiration to be herself, her quality connoisseur fashion closet often reflects Kanye West’s wardrobe choices. This was also witnessed when she donned the Pastelle varsity from Ye’s unreleased collection in 2022 Paris Fashion Week. However, getting a hand on these originals was no easy job as Kardashian once had to explore the likes of online shopping for this.

This might come as a surprise, but the SKKN founder once revealed the reason why. Apparently, West tended to give things away. Hence, when the children desired these designs, she could not back down. Now, with her revelation in the story, it appears that Kardashian has managed to find a way other than online shopping to pick the classic pieces. And for what is worth, the world might see more of North West wearing the same!
