Kim Kardashian is currently prioritizing fashion history over her law degree during a recent New York City press tour. The mogul debuted a sheer crochet ensemble from a 1997 Dolce & Gabbana runway, signaling a new era of archival dressing.
The 1997 Dolce & Gabbana crochet dress making waves in NYC
Kim Kardashian has turned the streets of New York City into a personal runway for high-fashion history. While attending promotional appearances, the star showcased a sheer piece originally seen on the Dolce & Gabbana Fall 1997 runway.
The ensemble features intricate embroidery across the neckline and delicate floral motifs running down the front. Instead of the risqué styling often associated with sheer garments, Kardashian opted for a structured black bra and a high-waisted skirt to mirror the original 1997 presentation, as reported by theSpotted.
Law Roach brings 1989 Paco Rabanne couture to the Kardashian rotation
Since beginning their professional partnership in September,stylist Law Roach has helped Kardashian tap into highly exclusive fashion archives. This collaboration has already moved beyond 90s nostalgia into even more structured, avant-garde territory.
For one specific appearance, Roach styled Kardashian in a piece from the Paco Rabanne Spring 1989 couture collection. This look was characterized by a bodice constructed from tiny round disks, providing a sharp, metallic contrast to the soft, romantic crochet of her Dolce & Gabbana look.
A history of Dolce & Gabbana curation and Skims partnerships
Kardashian’s affinity for the Italian fashion house is not a new development. Before her recent work with Law Roach, she had already established a significant relationship with the brand through various high-profile projects and business moves.
According to the report, Kardashian previously curated the label’s Spring 2023 archival-inspired show and secured a major partnership between Skims and Dolce & Gabbana. Her connection to the brand's aesthetic even caused family friction, specifically regarding the '90s Italian style used during her wedding, which she famously debated with sister Kourtney Kardashian .
Which legendary collections will Law Roach pull next?
While the current trend of wearing vintage couture is highly visible, it remains to be seen how long this specific archival direction will last. The partnership with Law Roach has opened doors to exclusive designer vaults, but the full extent of their upcoming wardrobe remains unverified.
Fashion enthusiasts are left wondering which legendary collections will be pulled next and whether this shift toward historical reverence marks a permanent change in Kardashian's personal brand. The source does not specify if this is a temporary press tour strategy or a long-term stylistic pivot for the mogul.
