Kim Kardashian Struggled With Her Style After Kanye West Divorce

After being dressed by ex-husband Kanye West throughout their marriage, Kim Kardashian has said she is trying to figure out who she is “in the fashion world” in an exclusive preview of the fifth episode of The Kardashians.

In the clip, the SKIMS founder is seen laying out different clothes to review her outfit options. In a voiceover, she says, “I’m trying to figure out, who am I in the fashion world? Who am I, by myself?”

In the previous episode, Kim revealed that Kanye had “always dressed me, always styled me” since they became romantically involved in 2012. The reality star said Kanye would send her thousands of looks of what he thought her style should be, but she now “really wants total independence."

“I was always like, the Kardashians, with my sisters, and then I was like Kimye. Like, who is Kim K?” she asked in the latest episode of The Kardashians. “That is the jump, how do I get there without Kanye? When I filed for divorce, it’s been like 10 months now and I’m finally just stepping out, being like ‘I can do this.'”

Per The Independent, prior to her relationship with Kanye, Kim was a celebrity stylist to Paris Hilton and regularly wore bright-colored outfits. The reality star has faced criticism for her style before from her daughter, North,  8, who Kim has said complains about her mother “wearing too much black."

Kim Kardashian is a fashion icon, whether you want to accept it or not. Ever since she and Kanye West split, the Skims founder has explored what he own style is, usually opting for monochrome Balenciaga looks and wearing those "pantashoes."
