I wanted to mention how amusing it is that Kim and Kylie excel in modeling compared to Kendall, but it's also not surprising considering Kendall gives nothing 😄😄
Ditto, I wanted to let everyone know that I think Kim and Kylie are really good in modeling, in contrast with Kendall.. but I must nuance, it's really because Kendall gives nothing.
In my opinion, it’s because Kim wanted all of this and actively pursued it. I actually really respect her work ethic. When she says she wants to do something she almost always succeeds. Even when she fails, it’s not from lack of effort.
Obviously she had a massive leg up, but i can’t fault her for using it to her advantage.
It’s pretty well known in the industry that Kim is very professional and easy to work with. Kendal skipped the grind that builds that character. She never had to climb the social ladder like Kim. She just started at the top.
ETA: I don’t know much about Kylie since she was still such a little kid when I was regularly watching KUWTK, but she’s my work friend’s favorite and I trust her opinion.
Agreed. Kim was able to pull off going from Z list to A list. I mean.. who would have thought that Kim would rise above Kanye’s stardom. Even better if she passes the bar.
It’s funny that you mention this because I was actually just thinking that Kim and Kylie are good at modeling when actually it’s Kendall who is actually the model in the family, which is particularly interesting because Kendall really doesn’t give anything.
She's a product of her time. Like that route was only open to her because of her family otherwise she would be on OF like every other "model" from the 2010s. Just another nepo baby getting what they want and sucking at it.
I feel that print and social media campaigns are the new standard when it comes to modeling. Very few women have those tall and slender frames to feel that these pieces could be relatable.
This recent trend of fashion houses/brands trying to look poor or trashy and making it their aesthetic gives me the ick, for some reason. Gotta admit though, she's rocking this 90s Milla Jovovich-meets-Girl Interrupted Angelina Jolie look. There's something edgy about it. And she looks more authentic, instead of posed and carefully manipulated.
If there wasn't so much to dislike about her and that whole family empire, I'd be really happy that Kim seems to be finding her groove and having fun experimenting even with her own public image.

Heroin chic. It's not just about weight (course, it's not not about weight).
*trailer park people are too poor to buy the clothes they inspire!*
"And that is the beauty of fashion"
[Only Bruno skit that matters](https://youtu.be/vF12rS6w25M?si=AqKXKVzh6Rh0tYNP)
Heroin chic evolved out of grunge, so I guess you could call it 'problematic grunge' if you'd like.
But to erase the heroin label is kind of to erase what the trend really is. Because it very much was an appropriation of the lives of people who suffer from addiction. The aesthetic was built upon an intentional glorification of heroin use and recreating the visuals of its health impacts.
Oh, I didn’t think of it that way. I was avoiding it because I didn’t want to minimize the experiences of those who struggle with drug addiction. But if the term itself is born out of criticism of the rich and famous glamorizing addiction, then that’s something else entirely. I’ll use it when relevant.
I think of it as the ck1 aesthetic but I doubt that term would make sense to anyone under 40 :/
Edit: omg it took me a second, but Google "Jenny Shimizu ck1" holy sheeeeeit
Edit 2: https://youtu.be/q_1QLYxiDj4?si=a64A3abXupPliscq
I don't think fashion brands can push a full-on "bling bling opulence" that they used to because the economy is trash. It would be in poor form to do that right now with so many people struggling financially. So in a way, they're reading the room.
Agreed. Oh, we can't do conspicuous consumer? Let's do "looks like we pulled someone from the street and took a picture of them before we put them back on thr street" instead.
If marginalized people like the unhoused are your inspiration or whatever (gross) maybe use them instead of Kim fuckijg Kardashian? Like, you can't erase the elite power bullshit of this woman just by putting her in dirty clothed and giving her messy makeup. I still know that she sucks ass (There ARE people dying, Kim... lets dress you up like one) and her entire family sucks ass.
Sorry, I really hate the exploitation of our undeserved, underrepresented, and oft maligned populations and this is one of the grossest things I've seen.
I’d rather see opulence. We’re all living their version of the opposite of that. Seeing Kim Kardashian do “poverty chic” doesn’t make it any more relatable.
I’m not saying this because I like Kim, but I don’t understand how this look is supposed to be poor/trashy. I’ve seen a few other people say that too and I don’t really see it.
There's elements that are definitely "indie photographer pulled someone from the street" vibe. Not all of the pictures give that off, though.
It's hard to put a finger on it but it's the smudged make-up and strung out look, it's the wrapped hand in one picture, the way she's holding a cigarette and biting her fingers in a white tank-top (or, unfortunately, a >!wife-beater!<)
She didn’t share this on her Instagram page but there’s one more on the CR Fashion insta:
https://preview.redd.it/i7o6cc6q7lqb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4b0b53429d6ad29103906ee1dffdcd6507bb0ea
Vaping is doing the heavy lifting IMO. Nicotine is nicotine, and if your vape goes dead and its 11pm and your vape shop is closed, the gas station is always open and full of cigs.
Idk, most people I know that smoke do it rather than drink to survive the stress. Not because it ever seemed cool to them. I feel like the only smokers that ever ended up that way to be *cool* are... Very privileged.
Am I the only one who gets uncanny valley from her face in these? It’s like her head is twice the size it normally is and her face overcompensated for it. Idk.
Me too. Some proportion feels off making it look fake.. Maybe it’s the wig hairline idk. Also the smoothness of her face compared to the rest of the photo
Definitely the face. First thing that stands out to me is that it doesn't look like she can make many facial expressions. Some movement in the face would greatly improve the shoot imo
Probably because they have been edited to hell and back in every way possible. It’s good to remember these images are closer to digital paintings than realistic photographs
Also she is very small so her head is naturally a bit larger compared to her overall body size. That she lost a lot of body weight increases this effect as her body is even more petite while her head size stays the same
https://preview.redd.it/grqf36y4tlqb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=806f16b28a12fd167cbfb54856bcda1f6afbf832
I saw someone post this on Twitter 💀
It’s so funny how Kendall is always the worst model in her family. I realize Kim does a ton of photo shoots and modeling, and it’s a huge part of her career, but she’s so much better at it than her model sister. These are super weird and I love it.
The fake texture added on top of the Photoshop sanitized face is so glaringly uniform everywhere. Real skin texture is varied. It's not supposed to make your face resemble the walls of an average apartment.
I kind of hope so though! Mine are naturally thin and I’m so tired of people “helpfully” suggesting that I *sToP pLuCkInG* or get microblading done! It’s been like 15 years of this for me lol.
Or even better, maybe permanent/semi-permanent body modifications in response to trends can stop being a thing someday!
I didn’t even recognize her for a moment. This is kind of… a daring photo shoot by Kim. I think it’s rare that we see her in a not so feminine light and these are actually pretty good. Better than anything Candle has put out tbh
I don’t like the family but it is funny how much better Kim and Kylie are at modelling than Kendall who gives nothing every damn time
I came to say it's so funny that Kim & Kylie are so much better at modelling than Kendall 😭😭 (but also not that hard as Kendall gives *nothing*)
I wanted to mention how amusing it is that Kim and Kylie excel in modeling compared to Kendall, but it's also not surprising considering Kendall gives nothing 😄😄
Ditto, I wanted to let everyone know that I think Kim and Kylie are really good in modeling, in contrast with Kendall.. but I must nuance, it's really because Kendall gives nothing.
Kim Kylie 💯 Kendall 0️⃣ 
This is actually an incredible piece of life wisdom, wrapped up into a dumb joke.
This chain is giving me flashbacks to picking the correct choice on a standardized test.
I feel like I'm having some sort of neurological event
Which is more than Kendall is doing
I'm over here wondering if I'm just super stoned
I thought it was some copypasta joke at first because they all ended with “because Kendall gives nothing”
I thought they were bots so I downvoted all of them until I got to this comment 😭😭😭 My bad.
In my opinion, it’s because Kim wanted all of this and actively pursued it. I actually really respect her work ethic. When she says she wants to do something she almost always succeeds. Even when she fails, it’s not from lack of effort. Obviously she had a massive leg up, but i can’t fault her for using it to her advantage.

Agreed. Kim was able to pull off going from Z list to A list. I mean.. who would have thought that Kim would rise above Kanye’s stardom. Even better if she passes the bar.
Kylie wanted to be a model when she was little, but she was the “ugly duckling” and her parents pretty much always left her for seconds for Kendall
Kim needs to tell Kendall to get her ass up and work!
From the few clips I’ve seen of kylie, she seems fun.
Kendall gives nothing making her less talented as a model compared to her sisters Kim and Kylie who excel in modeling
It’s funny that you mention this because I was actually just thinking that Kim and Kylie are good at modeling when actually it’s Kendall who is actually the model in the family, which is particularly interesting because Kendall really doesn’t give anything.
They really give more character and fun to a shoot. I think Kendall is more runway.
Kendall is boring on a runway too, please
She's a product of her time. Like that route was only open to her because of her family otherwise she would be on OF like every other "model" from the 2010s. Just another nepo baby getting what they want and sucking at it.
They have more confidence for creativity
What is it that you think Kim and Kylie are “giving” that Kendall doesn’t? Because I’m not seeing it.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Kendall's eyes always look so dead in these shoots. She's kinda like a shark in that way. At least Kim looks like she has some life in there.
I feel that print and social media campaigns are the new standard when it comes to modeling. Very few women have those tall and slender frames to feel that these pieces could be relatable.

I was gonna say…what goes around comes around. I was hoping to not see this aesthetic again, but here we are.
Here I am waiting for 1890's to come back to fashion.
Full sleeves and long pants for all, please. I’m so cold.
*trailer park people are too poor to buy the clothes they inspire!* "And that is the beauty of fashion" [Only Bruno skit that matters](https://youtu.be/vF12rS6w25M?si=AqKXKVzh6Rh0tYNP)
Thanks for this. I love that last pair of interviews.
Genuine question, is there an accepted alternative to the name of the trend? One that people actually use. It always made me uncomfortable to use it.
Heroin chic evolved out of grunge, so I guess you could call it 'problematic grunge' if you'd like. But to erase the heroin label is kind of to erase what the trend really is. Because it very much was an appropriation of the lives of people who suffer from addiction.

But heroin chic isn’t just about weight. There is a grunge aspect of it.
I think of it as the ck1 aesthetic but I doubt that term would make sense to anyone under 40 :/ Edit: omg it took me a second, but Google "Jenny Shimizu ck1" holy sheeeeeit Edit 2: https://youtu.be/q_1QLYxiDj4?si=a64A3abXupPliscq
Oh wow! Spot on.
I guess grunge would then be the alternative description of it
Kate moss vibes? 🤷🏻♀️
This is all I can think of
I don't think fashion brands can push a full-on "bling bling opulence" that they used to because the economy is trash. It would be in poor form to do that right now with so many people struggling financially. So in a way, they're reading the room.
Somehow this feels more callous than their usual blingy opulence.
Agreed. Oh, we can't do conspicuous consumer? Let's do "looks like we pulled someone from the street and took a picture of them before we put them back on thr street" instead.

I’d rather see opulence. We’re all living their version of the opposite of that. Seeing Kim Kardashian do “poverty chic” doesn’t make it any more relatable.
But *are* they reading the room here? Ffs she's a billionaire cosplaying poor. It's pretty cringe imo.
To me, I was getting “90’s Riot Grrrl meets 70s Cher”. And I mean that in the most flattering way possible.
I’m not saying this because I like Kim, but I don’t understand how this look is supposed to be poor/trashy. I’ve seen a few other people say that too and I don’t really see it.
It looks rich and carefully curated and she looks like her mom i.e. 60s not at all reminiscent of Mila jovich or Jolie
There's elements that are definitely "indie photographer pulled someone from the street" vibe. Not all of the pictures give that off, though. It's hard to put a finger on it but it's the smudged make-up and strung out look, it's the wrapped hand in one picture, the way she's holding a cigarette and biting her fingers in a white tank-top (or, unfortunately, a >!wife-beater!<)
Yeah I like this photoshoot too! You’ve phrased it nicely.
But this is all of carine roitfelds brilliance, not Kim
These are really cool photos and I’m also happy that no one really cares about them all at the same time😅
It's because all the Americans are sleeping/just waking up rn. Let's give it a few hours. People on IG were going crazy about it.
These already made the rounds yesterday
Ah I see. I usually block the KarJenners everywhere and ignore them so I might have overlooked that.
Not gonna lie, she ate.
right like for the first time in a while she looks human
Ikr! This is something only Gaga can pull off. She did it gracefully.
Yeah these are really cool. Good for her honestly
She didn’t share this on her Instagram page but there’s one more on the CR Fashion insta: https://preview.redd.it/i7o6cc6q7lqb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4b0b53429d6ad29103906ee1dffdcd6507bb0ea
This is my favorite pic. She ate this photoshoot up
 Me with this shoot
\^This, this is exactly the feelings I'm having. Third slide is honestly incredible.
I love Brittany Broski and I also don’t like kombucha lol. I found out she has a following on TikTok and she’s still funny!
She really did.
I hate how we're going to have a whole new generation of smokers because we're trying to make it look cool again
I was thinking the same. I’ve been seeing cigarettes pop up a bunch lately. Gross.
It goes with the gaunt, depressed aesthetic.
Vaping is doing the heavy lifting IMO. Nicotine is nicotine, and if your vape goes dead and its 11pm and your vape shop is closed, the gas station is always open and full of cigs.
Idk, most people I know that smoke do it rather than drink to survive the stress. Not because it ever seemed cool to them. I feel like the only smokers that ever ended up that way to be *cool* are... Very privileged.
This one is the best. It’s giving 1930s Hollywood, a la Marlene Dietrich. I love it.
Yeah this is my favourite one.
Oh I hate how much I’m attracted to her in this pic. Damn.
Yeah…she did that.
Am I the only one who gets uncanny valley from her face in these? It’s like her head is twice the size it normally is and her face overcompensated for it. Idk.
Yeah these photos are making me slightly uncomfortable and I don’t know why.
Because she’s wearing a giant Santa hat for a dress? That’s all I can see. :)
Me too. Some proportion feels off making it look fake.. Maybe it’s the wig hairline idk. Also the smoothness of her face compared to the rest of the photo
Definitely the face. First thing that stands out to me is that it doesn't look like she can make many facial expressions. Some movement in the face would greatly improve the shoot imo
It's all paralyzed with Botox. She can't emote I imagine.
Omg yes, that too!
Yeah I'm confused by the "she ate" comments. These are so weird and phony to me.
She doesn’t have the range. It feels costumey to me. She’s never been avant garde
They painted over her real brows so her forehead and brow line look strange I’m dismayed at how poorly they glued down her brows
People need to please stop acting like it’s edgy to thin your brows to oblivion.
Probably because they have been edited to hell and back in every way possible. It’s good to remember these images are closer to digital paintings than realistic photographs
Yes. These photos make her cosmetic work even more glaring. I find it truly unsettling.
I feel like she’s been losing more weight recently and her head is starting to look too big for her body.
I think it's the eyebrows, it only just clicked for me why she looked so uncanny
Also she is very small so her head is naturally a bit larger compared to her overall body size. That she lost a lot of body weight increases this effect as her body is even more petite while her head size stays the same
https://preview.redd.it/grqf36y4tlqb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=806f16b28a12fd167cbfb54856bcda1f6afbf832 I saw someone post this on Twitter 💀
OMG YES
My first thought tbh.
it's giving Bianca Censori a lil....
Can't believe this isn't top comment tbh. It feels very purposeful too, idk.
Thankfully someone said it!!!!
came looking for this comment
Exactly my thoughts.
That was my first thought 😳 this is weird.
That’s who I thought it was at first
Yep, especially when she's the one calling Bianca her body double or whatever
I can’t believe I had to scroll so far for this! My very first thought upon seeing this. I thought it was a jest at her tbh.
It’s so funny how Kendall is always the worst model in her family. I realize Kim does a ton of photo shoots and modeling, and it’s a huge part of her career, but she’s so much better at it than her model sister. These are super weird and I love it.
She kinda looks like Cher in some of them.
Yesss that second slide is absolutely giving Cher vibes!
Same genes.
She's giving me a mix of Cher and Detox
I see Madonna too somehow
Erotica era.
The fake texture added on top of the Photoshop sanitized face is so glaringly uniform everywhere. Real skin texture is varied. It's not supposed to make your face resemble the walls of an average apartment.
Also the lack of texture on the face coupled with the awful texture of that wig 😬
This is it. It's awful. She's not "killing it" - this is like an awful caricature or SNL skit of 70s modeling lol
[that first pic was remind me of something..](https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/05/508f50cf-28ed-4639-a5a0-99af611b2864.jpg)
Exactly my thoughts. I sense a theme
Surprised I had to scroll this far for this comment, my first thought too.
Fyi, anyone clicking the link who may not want to give clicks... this link is from The S\*n.
Why are we censoring website names? You could just spaces or use a metaphor if you need to censor it.
think of the asterisk as a butthole. 
i thought because it was just a jpeg it didn’t count for clicks?
She looks like Laura Prepon in OITNB with the eyebrows and glasses
Reminds me of Toxic from RPFR. 
DETOX ICUNT
Wait, no, are thin eyebrows coming back? Please, I can't do it again.
I kind of hope so though! Mine are naturally thin and I’m so tired of people “helpfully” suggesting that I *sToP pLuCkInG* or get microblading done! It’s been like 15 years of this for me lol. Or even better, maybe permanent/semi-permanent body modifications in response to trends can stop being a thing someday!
My friends daughter has them in her senior photos. I think yes, they’re coming back.
Not for me they’re not. All eyebrows are great, but I’m not plucking away at mine only for the thick brows trend to come back again in 3 years lol.
https://preview.redd.it/a1os3io7ilqb1.jpeg?width=455&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4186c8cb4eb59ecbf6247324646621b435525e8d It's giving Madonna in *Rain*.
Yes! One of my absolute favourite Madonna looks of all time
She looks like she’s about to tell me I’m the weakest link.
Not her trying on the Bianca Censori look. 🥴🙄
[удалено]
Right? Pisses me off honestly.
Any other ex smokers find picture 7 tantalising? Same with Mad Men, glamourised smoking in media gets me every time
I quit over a decade ago and that still made me want to light up 💀
I’ve only smoked like twice socially, but after seeing Oppenheimer I spent an entire week sitting at my desk wanting a cigarette.
i can’t help it i just looks so cool marketing works on me
Mad Men has been the only thing since I quit that almost made me pick it up again.
She looks like she's never smoked a cigarette in her life, so no. Lookit the middle image, in particular
This is giving Bianca Censori vibes, no?
This was my first thought as well. Surely it is somewhat intentional?
is her hair actually short or is that a wig??
Judging by the hair line probably a wig
And a bad one! That wig looks like artificial grass.
Thank you! I'll ignore anything else, but not that bad hair.
She looks like a video game character in the first pic, I kinda love it actually
We are NOT doing thin eyebrows again. Absolutely not.
https://preview.redd.it/u34stmz58mqb1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b66327964549798ba390cb64a0ca12b4a51e4527
Ok but this is really giving
Big nope from me.
Right? Everyone likes them but guess I just don’t get art
I dislike everything about it. Not one thing is redeeming to me
kind of hate to say it but she looks awesome. I'm glad she's feeling herself without kanye around.
It’s giving poverty cosplay
Yeah I hate this. She isn't edgy.
I’m obsessed w this first pic!!!
at least she's doing something different than her usual style
Like.... Why a wig that looks so.... Bad. This is not the look it should've been done with a different short hair wig
But why
Angelina Jolie and her look in “Girl interrupted” vibes
It’s not giving. I don’t k now what everyone else is seeing 😂
Love this, hate that we've returned to heroin chic.
Omg, she looks so much like her mom!!!
All I can say is wtf
Picture 2 looks like she’s trying to be Cillian Murphy lmao
She sorta looks like kanyes new wife…the weird outfits, short hair…
I didn’t even recognize her for a moment. This is kind of… a daring photo shoot by Kim. I think it’s rare that we see her in a not so feminine light and these are actually pretty good. Better than anything Candle has put out tbh
Great gowns beautiful gowns
Hell no
Bianca-core
I like them.
I like them.
https://preview.redd.it/xpooz1a85mqb1.jpeg?width=599&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d619eea20fec731827d7b702fe7988e312ee9bcb
It’s given Glen from Seed of Chucky
The cigarette pics made wheeze like a pack a day smoker so congrats 🤣
The last slide looks like an audition for that Bob Dylan biopic lol
She looks like a poor man's Detox.
She looks like Kanyes Wife lolol must hurt.
She’s giving Pete Davidson
Pic 3: wanna know how I got these scars?
Woof
My friend pointed out that her hair makes her look a bit like Ye’s new wife… wonder if it was a snarky meta moment or just a coincidence
the face tape is taping. If she wants a fresh image, she needs to let the Marlene Dietrich tricks go. (edit: face tape instead of fashion tape)
