Kim Kardashian is something of a fashion chameleon. When she first rose to fame in the aughts, she was a portrait of the era, wearing Hervé Léger bandage dresses and skinny jeans with towering platforms. Eventually, we became accustomed to her Yeezy-sponsored neutrals and athleisure. But now, Kardashian is in a new phase of her sartorial career, and has turned to none other than John Galliano for help.
In January, Kardashian (along with sister Kylie Jenner and momager Kris Jenner) made for a surprising guest at the Margiela Artisanal show, dressed in a black dress riddled with cutouts and paillettes. But, the most eye-catching component of her look were her black, hoof-like Tabi heels—a collaboration between Maison Margiela and Christian Louboutin–complete with the signature cleft toe. Galliano once again dressed Kardashian in Margiela for the 2024 Met Gala, in a metallic chainmail dress paired with a gray shrug and featuring an (extremeley) corseted waist.
Now, Kardashian is bringing Margiela’s signature Tabis into her everyday life. While out in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the reality star and entrepreneur donned a more casual look: an unzipped charcoal windbreaker—which revealed a black bra—matching baggy pants with grommets lining the hem, and sleek black sunglasses. When it came to her shoe choice, she opted for a pair of summery flip flops—albeit the Tabi iteration. The thong sandal features an exaggerated split toe and retails for $400.
How else will John Galliano’s Maison Margiela figure into Kim Kardashian’s style evolution? Watch this space.
