It doesn’t matter if from Sicily or from the icons dear to the duo, like Sophia Loren, Kardashian has little or nothing. Jeweled and made of cotton properly, it is credible, even in this role. She, she says, among her childhood memories still keeps the evening outings of her mother and manager Kris Jenner in Dolce & Gabbana dresses. Two dogs in the family, a black Labrador and a Chihuahua, were named just like the stylists

In the game of power between social media – Kardashian has 300 million followers on InstagramDolce & Gabanna stop at 29 million – and in fashion, the star ‘famous for being famous’, already Balenciaga ambassadorperhaps the most iconic brand for today’s fashionistas, has now put its name on this collection as well

Fishing among the ancient glories of the brand, Kardashian brought back to Milan corset dresses and garters, lace and suspenders, low-waisted skirts, fitted jumpsuits and tailored jackets, sequined minis and crosses at the neck. There is a lot of black, a little white, a little animalier. There are all the creations of Stefano and Domenico that it is not difficult to see them on

She herself, they say, had explained to the designers how much she admired their archives last May, when the two had dressed the Kardashian clan for the wedding of his sister Kourtneycelebrate a San Fruttuoso di Camogli and Portofino

Thus was born the idea of ​​bringing Kim to the Metropol of viale Piave in Milan. Given the huge resonance of the D&G wedding, the two designers then flew to Los Angeles and asked Kim to choose her favorite pieces. “We compared our choices and 80% were the same“, they say

One of the recurring themes in Kim’s style is the passion for mono-colorwith few prints and rather embellished with reflective and shimmering fabrics. Dolce and Gabbana admit that on the one hand the choice to use a single print and very few chromatic shades was a shock, on the other hand that the heart opened thinking about those dresses, the people who wore them, from Linda Evangelista to Monica Bellucci and Isabella Rossellini

On Thursday Kim arrived in Italy to follow the fittings of the models. “I had always seen everything from the outside and I had never experienced it, it was – he said meeting the press before the show – the most beautiful and creatively stimulating challenge”. Also stimulating, for Dolce and Gabbana, to have her with them: “she loves and understands fashion and has her own style”

As with the colors and prints, Kim’s presence also shines through selection of the models to whom he made to wear the chosen clothes. A great many were African or of African descent. Some, although few compared to the others, were ‘curvy’, as are those she chooses for her underwear brand, Skims

Kim – always known for her shapes but for a few months she has shrunk down to half of herself to slip intodress worn by Marylin Monroe when she sang ‘Happy birthday Mr. President’ at the Met Gala – she hopes her experience in fashion “will be remembered for the contribution to the inclusion of all sizes and all women”

“Also in this collection there are dresses that my mother, my sisters and even my daughters will want,” says Kim. The show was attended by the mother, sister Khloé and the four children with ex-husband Kanye West: North, Saint, Psalm and Chicago

Also watching Kim’s debut were Alessandra Ambrosio, Ashley Graham, Eva Herzigova and Bianca Balti. In the front row also Monica Bellucci, always an inspiration for Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce and Gabbana, to the press, they defined Kim as “the muse par excellence”. His “confidence, independence, sense of style and sensuality” served as inspiration to the stylists for “the re-reading of their archives”. The reinterpretation of “these same legendary garments” – which “inspired Kim so often throughout her life and her career, making this moment a dream come true” – “manages to speak to so many different generations”
