Kim and Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing have an especially close relationship and he's the mind behind many of her most talked-about looks as well as a lot of the clothes worn by her 2-year-old daughter North West. In an interview with InStyle magazine, Olivier opened up about what Kim representswhen she wears his clothes.
“When Kendall Jenner and KimKardashian arrived at a party in Paris with all of my models, they looked likesoldiers from a fashion army," he said. "It’s not only about party clothes but also aboutgiving a message of strength.”
