Kimye Ends While Pete Davidson and Julia Fox Deal With New Fame
Stardom is harder than it looks.
Kim Kardashian is tough.
It took grit to file for divorce from Kanye West last year. Kardashian is forty-one and has four children with West. West, who is forty-four, said that he did not want the marriage to end.
Kardashian spent the past week on vacation in the Bahamas with Pete Davidson.
Go West Young Lady
West introduced Kardashian to fashion.
He redesigned her image in 2014 and taught her the business behind the looks. This led to the creation of KKW Beauty, her makeup and skin care line, Skims, her shapewear company.
Her success with Skims led to a collaboration with Fendi, the top-shelf Italian designer. Balenciaga sponsors her.
West’s tutelage was not her first encounter with fame.
Kardashian Was Famous First
Kardashian’s father defended The Juice.
The late Robert Kardashian became known because O.J. Simpson’s murder trial was televised live. When Simpson beat the rap, Kardashian’s fame went nationwide.
He was the first one to make Kardashian a household name.
