Major moves! Kim Kardashian opened up about the significance of her Dolce & Gabbana collaboration. During a new episode of The Kardashians, which aired on Thursday, June 1, the 42-year-old reality star reflected on her fashion evolution. “This is a big deal to me,” Kim said in a confessional interview. “It’s the first time that I’m really gone be independent on doing any kind of fashion product.”  She continued: “I do Skims, I’m very confident in that, but I never thought I’d ever have an opportunity like this … It’s like SNL … [I] wanted to prove I could do it and do it well.”  Kim explained that designing for a famous fashion house is a completely different ball game that took her “outside of my comfort zone.”  In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies “I feel like I have a good pulse on what people want to wear and that’s a good thing to me, because not too long ago, I felt like I couldn’t even dress myself,” Kim shared.

For years, Kim was styled by ex-husband Kanye West. Her new found fashion independence sparked anxiety, which was documented in season 2 of The Kardashians. “Even now I’m having panic attacks like, what do I wear?” the SKKN by Kim founder explained during a May 2022 episode of the Hulu show. “Then for the Wall Street Journal magazine, I won the innovator award for Skims.

And I was like, ‘How do I wear something that hasn’t been pre-vetted first?’” She echoed similar sentiments in a February 2022 interview with Vogue, saying: “I always think, ‘What will be next?’ I always had Kanye, who knew exactly what the next fashion era would be for me.” Kim did herself proud when she unveiled the capsule with Dolce & Gabbana in September 2022.
