“Then for theWall Street Journalmagazine, I won the innovator award for SKIMS. And I was like, ‘How do I wear something that hasn’t been pre-vetted first?” she continued.
“Does it make you nervous? Are you like, ‘Is this is a bad outfit?’ " Kourtney, 43, asked of the uncertainty.
To accept theWSJaward last November, Kim wore a brown leather dress from the SKIMS x Fendi collection, completing the look with matching gloves, snakeskin boots and diamond jewelry. However, she said that West, 44, called her afterwards with criticism.

Later in the episode, Kim searched her closet for inspiration for what she’d wear to the weddings of her friendsParis HiltonandSimon Huck.
“I definitely see what I like, but I’ve never really been the visionary,” she said of her style in a confessional. “Kanye would come in and be like, ‘You should do your hair like this. You should do your makeup like this.’ That’s his love language, it’s clothes.” I always just trusted in him.”
Nearly a year after filing for divorce from the “Praise God” rapper, the star said she’s still trying to define her own fashion identity.
