Love her or hate her, she’s a conversation starter and undisputedly a fashion-industry success story. Her "career" already boasts a string of boutiques, a handful of clothing lines in national department stores (set to go global), a plethora of perfume and nail polish collections, and a museum's worth of magazine covers... all from the seed of a sex tape. Though personal style may be subjective, designing for a broad market requires business insight and thoughtful creativity, non? So, question is: Is Kardashian’s involvement in fashion just a mindless money maker? According to on exec at New York Mag, yes. “I think she sees fashion as another means for making money. I don’t think she’s ever going to want to go to a fashion show for her love of clothes. She’s going to want to get paid for going to that show.” What would Kim need to do to gain acceptance? “Quit all her other jobs.” Unlikely, but we're sure we'll find out, willingly or unwillingly, every step of the way.
