Kim Kardashian has been busy as ever as she concentrates on being a mother and a fashionista post her divorce from Kanye West. Although fame started with her reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the family was not known for their styles. However, the evolution began after her marriage to rapper and designer Ye. And now, the socialite is working to find her voice in fashion without her ex-husband.

Despite no modeling background, Kardashian has not only walked down the ramp but also made her own brand, SKIMS which contributed to her wealth and profile. She even managed to have her own successful collaboration with D&G, but it was no easy task. In a recent episode of her reality show, The Kardashians, she gave an insight into her fashion journey post-separation with Kanye West.

How Kim Kardashian rose in fashion after split with Kanye West

Even after attaining billionaire status, Kim Kardashian had an ambition to make a name for herself in the fashion industry. According to BuzzFeed, she opened up about her collaboration with D&G in the latest episode of The Kardashians explaining her rise to fashion after splitting up with a well-known designer and husband. The episode showed her preparing to attend the fashion show in Paris, without the support of Ye and the absence of her close aid Danielle Levi, who helped her design.

As per her, Ye’s opinion had become so important that she would not dress for an event without his approval first. He had reportedly taken her to Paris once, to spend 24 hours trying to style her. She apparently began having anxiety, panic attacks, and doubting her own choices. However, it all changed with time and she stood her ground by wearing the black shimmery dress when walking down the ramp for the D&G collaboration. They invited her to work with the brand, and she negotiated with them on her own.

Despite her separation, she still credits Ye for her entry into the industry though. While she already had fame, she was swifted in through his connections.

Ye’s role in Kim Kardashian’s entry into fashion

While Kim Kardashian had fame, getting into events like the MET Gala required exclusive contacts. When she started dating Ye back in 2013, he took her as a plus one at the 2013 fashion event. Thereon, she continued attending it every year, but the news of her divorce rose speculation of her getting snubbed by the event in 2023.

It came as a surprise for all when she not only dressed for this year’s Karl Lagerfeld theme but gained an appreciation for it as well. Both she and Ye now work to continue fashion in their own comfortable ways now.
