Kim Kardashian West Swaps Her Vintage Wares For a Cool Emerging Label

For the past few months, Kim Kardashian West has proven herself to be a die-hard lover of vintage fashion, stepping out in archival pieces by Thierry Mugler, Azzedine Alaïa, Versace, and Jean Paul Gaultier, with the latter’s slinky, tattoo-style pieces proving a particular favorite. Kardashian West’s obsession with scouring these throwback collections—and then finding items within them that still feel fresh and new—is trickier than it seems; her next-level eye has even made Vogue’s own resident eBay queen, Liana Satenstein, second guess her talent for finding those precious gems. But now, the star is giving all that up in favor of an achingly cool emerging label.

Since the brand’s designers Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient, who are Swiss but based in Berlin, launched the line in 2015, they have developed a modern, sci-fi inspired aesthetic that combines body-conscious silhouettes with more technical fabrics; their recent Fall 2019 collection even featured riffs on ski wear. Kardashian West chose to mimic that sporty feel with a skin-tight tracksuit, detailed with subtle roping. Meanwhile, fitted boots gave it a head-to-toe finish.

Will she now return to the futuristic athleisure vibe that was once her signature? Judging by this ensemble, the answer is yes—and she’s chosen the perfect on-the-pulse design duo to nail the transition.
