A look behind the scenes. Kim Kardashian offered a rare glimpse into her dynamic with stylist Danielle Levi after her iconic Dolce & Gabbana collaboration.
During the June 8 episode of The Kardashiansthe TV personality broke down her history with Levi.
“Danielle is my stylist so she picks my outfits and we look at our looks and she finds them. How am I going to walk into these meetings and tell everyone what I like and don’t like when she and I put it together? I need her Kardashian explained to the cameras about working with designers Domenico Dolce And Stephano Gabbana. “I always need someone to confirm that this looks right.”
Later in the episode, Levi was initially unavailable to help Kardashian ahead of Milan Fashion Week. The Israeli-born woman was stuck on a plane waiting for her passport, while the Hulu personality created a collection of her favorite Dolce & Gabbana archival looks from the ’90s and early 2000s.
“I think it’s not for nothing that Danielle isn’t here. Because this is only about me and to prove to myself that I can do something like this on my own without my whole team. This path I had to walk alone,” Kardashian explained on Thursday, June 15 episode of her reality show. “I am getting more confident every day. I have to give my opinion and say what I like. And I do that and I have this.
She added: “I’m in a groove. The past few days have really taught me this independence and trusting my gut. I was so insecure that I couldn’t do anything without my security blanket and now I can do that on a very big level.”
Kardashian credited Levi’s brief absence for giving her more “confidence,” adding, “I have my own voice.” I can say exactly how I feel and I can do this.”
Levi, for her part, highlighted the lessons she learned in the fashion industry. “Style is a first impression, it’s how you are judged before you even speak – never underestimate the value of this,” she shared CB Fashion Book in June 2022. “It should reach the maximum level of expressing who you are and where you want to be.”
At the time, Levi praised Kardashian for teaching her how not to let outside opinions influence her work.
“Only take advice from people who are where you want to be,” she concluded. “There’s so much jealousy when you get there, so a big part of getting to the top is to never be jealous or insecure – always be the con artist, the do-gooder, the go-getter. Watch where your energy goes and do your best to be the best, for all abundance begins first in the mind.”
