Beauty mogul and mother-of-four Kim Kardashian lands Vogue Arabia‘s September ’19 issue, a feature styled by Manfred Thierry Mugler and photographed by Txema Yeste in the Los Angeles desert.
An established super fan of Thierry Mugler, Kardashian wore both archival pieces as well as three looks by Casey Cadwallader for Thierry Mugler. (Music fans will recognize the white fringe dress Kardashian wears as the same one Cardi B wore to the 2019 Grammy Awards.)
Adding a twist to the effort, Kardashian is interviewed for the feature by Kanye West, her husband of five years. Reflecting on their first date together, Kardashian explained, “I was like, ‘Damn, why did I waste so much time and energy? Why didn’t I do this sooner?'”
Addressing criticisms of her law school-free path to becoming a lawyer, she explained, “There is a misconception that I don’t actually have to study and that I’ve bought my way into getting a law degree. That’s absolutely not true. Being underestimated and over-delivering is my vibe.”
On how she ranks her passion for money versus fame, Kardashian admitted, “Money was always the goal but I was obsessed with fame, like, embarrassingly obsessed. I do agree that fame can be addictive.”
The full exchange between Kardashian and West will be featured in Vogue Arabia‘s print edition.
