Kanye West is the one who introduced Kim to Demna and was instrumental in the newly formed relationship between her and Balenciaga,” the source explains to E. “This look on Kim is like a new subculture and fashion statement. No logo, no face, but everyone knows it’s her.”
“Kanye gave her the courage to push creativity and people’s imagination through art. It’s the ultimate confidence.”
Kim had recently opened up about her pursuit of fame when she was much younger- via E!: “I would stop off at Robertson’s, I would stop off at the Ivy to pick up something to go, even if it was some bread to go,” she joked. “I think I can talk about it because it’s so funny. I think people need to be more honest about those moments in life when you’re just super desperate and want that.”
