Just when you think you’ve seen all of Kim Kardashian, she somehow manages to show you more.
how can a dress make someone look more naked than if they were…y’know, naked?
Kim stunned this week in a black cutout dress, but this futuristic look comes from all the way back in 1998 – a vintage Thierry Mugler creation.
crawford and campbell…ICONIC
Mugler was the original bad boy of 90s fashion, known for daring cutouts, hyperexaggerated lines, and curious geometry.
You may have seen his work before on another short queen…
Gaga was, in fact, so entranced by his work that her first runway show was with her former stylist’s inaugural Mugler collection, right around the Born This Way era.
Weirdly, the least interesting thing about Mugler is the fashion. Take a look at the man himself, from the 90s and now:
was this a plastic surgery Groupon?
The comparison curse has struck Kim’s dress too, with some in our petty newsroom (not me, I’m terrified of Kris Jenner’s biblical wrath) side by siding it with a certain Star Wars character:
omfg NOOOOOOOOO
But surprisingly, the show-it-tall dress wasn’t the main controversy here.
Kim came out swinging against “fast fashion” labels, who copied the look of her dress in a scheme to get people signed up on their mailing lists.
If this dress can kill the tacky FashionNova trend, then maybe it really did some good.
At least we have another entry for The Sideboob Hour.
WAIT. who’s that fine-ass gentleman?!
