Kim Kardashian’s love for archival fashion is well-known. She has frequently mined archives from Thierry Mugler, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, and Jean Paul Gaultier, among others, to find outfits that are one of a kind and a huge moment in fashion history.
Halloween might be long over, but the reality TV star doesn’t mind it. She recently dressed up as a sexy nurse, but her look is backed by a major fashion brand.
So, it should come to no one’s surprise that the entrepreneur is back at it again. This time, bolstered by celebrity stylist Law Roach, Kim Kardashian wore the iconic nurse look from Louis Vuitton.
This latest vintage pull is a very rare, almost 20-year-old Louis Vuitton nurse uniform. She wore the entire look, complete with a monogrammed lace face mask, personalised cap with the letter ‘K’, and coordinating accessories. It comes from Marc Jacobs’s spring 2008 collection for the house.
According to reports, Marc Jacobs, who was the then creative director of the brand, opened the show with a parade of supermodels dressed as nurses in plastic opaque coats, and they wore personalised caps that spelt out the brand’s name. They also wore embroidered black lace masks with the LV monogram.
These designs were an homage to American painter and photographer Richard Prince’s Nurse Paintings series, and thse getups were an announcement between the artist and fashion house.
According to Vogue, Law Roach sourced this look from the personal archive of Lauren Pyes, a collector of Jacobs-era Louis Vuitton.
“It is beyond my wildest dreams that the arbiter of style, fashion, and pop culture, Law Roach would reach out to me to architect such an epic moment, and I can never thank you and Yvonne enough,” Lauren Pyes wrote on Instagram along with the images of Kardashian in her look.
“Kim, thank you for what you do to push the conversation about fashion and pop culture forward,” continued Pyers on her post. “Among the many things I admire about you is your reverence for fashion history and how you bring it alive while making it distinctly you.”
