As a longtime fashion enthusiast who has been captivated by the glossy pages of Vogue since I was a teenager, I must admit that I was initially taken aback when I saw Kim Kardashian‘s face among the 90s fashion icons in the trailer for “In Vogue: The 90s”. My first thought was, “Kim who?” Back then, she was still just a budding reality star, far from becoming the fashion powerhouse she is today.
The 2024 Hulu lineup will feature a six-part documentary series titled “In Vogue: The 90s“, where Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, and notable fashion icons will explore the most significant events of that era as depicted in her magazine. However, the appearance of Kim Kardashian in the series’ trailer alongside stars such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Naomi Campbell, and Claudia Schiffer has sparked some controversy among fans. We’ll examine the reasons behind this confusion and why Kardashian is included. Let’s delve deeper.
Why Fans Are Confused About Kim Kardashian’s Role In The Vogue Docuseries
Kim Kardashian consistently showcases breathtaking styles, be it a black swimsuit or an evening gown. Yet, in contrast to today’s fame, during the 1990s – as depicted in the upcoming Vogue docuseries – she was neither recognized for her fashion sense nor famous overall. As pretty_miss_lux noted on Reddit:
Kim is undeniably an influential figure in modern pop culture, yet it’s worth noting that much of her distinctive style and aesthetic has been inspired by…
The Kardashian family didn’t gain widespread recognition until their reality show on E! started airing in 2007. However, Kim was not well-known in the fashion industry until Kanye West entered her life and significantly changed her wardrobe. Even after their separation in 2021, Kim faced challenges finding her own style voice as Kanye continued to offer comments on her choices and occasionally selected her outfits for her.
Three times so far, Kim Kardashian has been featured on the cover of a magazine edited by Anna Wintour, and her debut appearance was alongside Kanye West in April 2014.
Why In Vogue: The 90s Will Feature The Kardashians Star
Given that Kim Kardashian entered fashion much later than the ’90s, one might wonder why she’s featured in “In Vogue: The 90s“. The explanation lies in her strong bond with its editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour. According to reports from The Sun, Wintour personally invited Kardashian, the CEO of SKIMS, to participate, and she graciously accepted the offer. The source added that Kardashian couldn’t refuse such a request.
The primary reason why Kim features in this documentary series is due to the robust, earnestly cultivated bond she shares with Vogue’s head honcho, Anna Wintour. Over time, they forged a connection marked by trust that took years to establish. This strong bond has made Kim extremely devoted to Anna, and when Anna extends an invitation for collaboration on a project, Kim seldom declines.
It’s completely clear to me, and moreover, as reported by our source, Kim Kardashian willingly agreed to participate in a six-part series. The source added:
Kim voluntarily chose not to push herself into the project and never asked anyone to join her in a talk show segment. Instead, she was graciously invited by the filmmakers, and she willingly provided them with her insights without any compensation.
It’s important to mention that the docuseries will be available for streaming on Hulu, a platform where her family’s show, The Kardashians, is also hosted. Hulu often cross-promotes its content, particularly with the Kardashian-Jenner clan. For instance, Kris Jenner made an appearance on The Golden Bachelor addressing Susan Noles who resembles her, and Gerry Turner, the golden man, was a guest on The Kardashians. This latest season of the show also included Ryan Murphy proposing to Kim to star in his new legal drama All’s Fair, which will premiere on Hulu.
Critics who are concerned about Kim Kardashian’s role in the upcoming documentary series may have a reasonable argument, as it appears she will merely serve as a commentator discussing fashion trends of the 90s, rather than being portrayed as one of the era’s key influencers. It is understandable that she would choose to participate in the project, considering her connection with Anna Wintour and her involvement with the magazine.
To watch “In Vogue: The 90s” or any top originals from Hulu, don’t forget to activate your Hulu account, as the new episodes will debut on Friday, September 13.
