Kardashian first appeared on E! channel’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians. She kept up her media presence with several spin-off shows and now she currently appears in The Kardashians. While Kim K rose to fame with her family’s reality TV show, it was her business ventures that got her to the ten-figure fortune.

The Kardashians premiered in 2022 with its core focus on the style evolution of the Kardashian sisters. It was a retooled version of their earlier family reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. In the seventh episode of the Hulu series, Kim Kardashian took the viewers through her fashion archive. She intended to find her new fashion era by revisiting her different styles over the years.
She claimed in the episode that her ex-husband Kanye West had a huge role to play in her previous fashion choices. The couple were together from 2014 to 2021. Kardashian shared in the episode that Kanye was always there “as this crutch to teach me so much about fashion.” She was accompanied by her friend Tracey Romulus to go through the fashion archive and find inspiration.
Of course, Kardashian has no plans to wear any of the cloth pieces hanging in the warehouse in the future. As for the rough number of clothes that this warehouse held, Kardashian shared, “I have thousands and thousands of clothes. I think I have 30,000 pieces.”
She could’ve easily got rid of them and made buttloads of money but she had other plans. She shared, “I love seeing all this stuff. I just want to see where I’ve been and where I want to go.” She admitted in the episode that dressing herself had been her biggest insecurity since her divorce, which is fair considering that she spends a good amount of time in front of the camera.
The episode saw Kardashian making a stand for herself. She shared, “I do know what looks good on me and I know exactly what I like and I know exactly what I want.” She added that she just needed to “drown out all of the voices” who were telling her what they liked or what she needed to wear.
