Kim Kardashian's Paris Fashion Week marathon: the outfits

GIVENCHY'S LACE SIREN
Gracing designer friend Riccardo Tisci's spring/summer 2015 show was always going to be Kim's biggest style spectacle. And disappoint the preened, primped reality TV star did not. Clad in a bespoke black lace Givenchy jumpsuit with tighter-than-tight bustier and biker jacket draped over her shoulders, Kim managed to keep her assets in and her leather on while navigating baby North West into the venue. The 18-month-old was, incidentally, wearing a child-friendly replica of Kim's luxe lady of the night garb, with kiddie's Dr. Martens.
IN THE NUDE
"She's a nude operator..." Sade almost once sang. A befitting theme tune for Kim, whose outfit colour spectrum mostly varies between black and nude. A master of the fleshy palette, KK stepped out for a spot of Paris shopping in a triumvirate of beige.
Unsurprisingly, Kanye is also a fan of Kim's figure-hugging fashion.

THE FLEDGLING BRAND CHAMPION
As well as being a poster girl for the bespoke services of doting designers Riccardo Tisci and Olivier Rousteing (the brain behind Balmain) Kim has been heralding emerging label A.W.A.K.E. And guess what? She has her fashion-conscious husband, Mr. West to thank for the introduction.
"He researches everything and he loves to find new talent; he introduced me to her and told me she's part Armenian, and so am I,'" Kim told WWD. "I'm all about empowering other women to be successful and it's really important to me to support designers that I believe in and friends that I believe in that are hardworking." KK paired this origami embellished LBD with a pair of trusty Hermès heels.
A SPOT OF SELF-PROMOTION
Wondering where Kim gets her slightly sheeny bodysuits from? Not Marks and Sparks, but Maison Martin Margiela, no less. The aspiring designer also took the opportunity to show Paris one of the Kardashian Kollection skirts, paired with a Josh Goot coat, of higher price pioints.
KO-ORDINATING CLEAVAGE
Who knew Kanye had such sculpted pectorals? The couple caused much titillation on the Lanvin front row as they both flashed the gifts that God gave them.

NUDE ROUND TWO
Newcomers to Kim's wardrobe have already learnt of the lady's penchant for nude, and will most probably have gathered that her clothes come in just one size: extra tight. So, when Kim's leggings also take on the skin hue something really special is born. Luckily we didn't have time to dwell on whether Kim was wearing a smooth groove with her Alaïa tights, as we were enraptured with the beaded Balmain confection hanging off her shoulders. Doesn't Kanye look miffed that he doesn't have one too?

BALMANIA
A true Balmain pin-up, Kim plumped for a heavily patterned white dress from Olivier Rousteing's Resort 2015 collection, paired with lace-up booties, a choker and cuff from the spring/summer 2015 collection.
BALENCIAGA BABY
Possibly our favourite Kim-does-PFW look was the kovered-up black Balenciaga ensemble she slipped into to support Alexander Wang at his spring 2015 showcase. And Yeezus did little North put on a good show for her front row debut.
A.W.A.K.E ambassador
So passionate about newfound brand A.W.A.K.E (All Wonderful Adventures Kindle Enthusiasm), Kim agreed to co-host Buro 24/7 Fashion Forward Initiative party in honour of designer Natalia Alaverdian. The label's top fan opted for another architectural dress by Alaverdian for the celebration. Prepare to see A.W.A.K.E make waves after this.
