Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci Opens Up About Dressing Kim Kardashian: "I Got Killed Because Of This"

It's a pretty much given that Kim Kardashian is one of the most sought-after stars for top designers to dress right now...but t'was not always so.

Givenchy Creative Director Riccardo Tisci opened up in a recent interview with Details about his relationship with Kim and Kanye West, including why he was chosen for the coveted role of designing their wedding day attire.

"I didn't care what people thought about Kim," Tisci told the mag. "In the beginning, I met her because of my respect for Kanye, and then I liked her a lot and we became friends. I got killed because of this. But I didn't care."

Tisci's gamble with Kimye paid off: The high-powered couple is now much lauded by power players in the fashion community. Kanye's New York Fashion Week debut for his Yeezy Season collection (in collaboration with Adidas) was even attended by Anna Wintour, who sat front row next to Kim and baby North West. (Also, you don't get a joint Vogue cover for nothin'.)

Riccardo's loyalty to the couple is ultimately why he was behind Kim's figure-hugging (and floor-sweeping) lace wedding gown.

"And this is why, when they got married, they asked me to dress them," he revealed. "They say, 'You've always been with us. You've been a real friend.' If I like somebody, I like somebody. If I don't like somebody, I don't like somebody."

Well, that's real talk if we've ever heard any ourselves. And exactly why Mrs. West includes Tisci among her closest designer friends.

Mila Kunis Jokes About Adjusting to Her "Amazing" Big Boobs, Trains Baby Wyatt to Become a Chicago Bears Fan

It's been four months and five days since Mila Kunis gave birth to Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher. "But who's counting?" she asked on TBS' Conan Wednesday. The Jupiter Ascending actress, 31, said life got better after welcoming a daughter with Ashton Kutcher. "It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I've said this and I stand by it," she said. "It is great." Conan O'Brien agreed with Mila's stance, though he was a bit distracted by her chest. "I saw a red carpet picture of you and it looked like Channing Tatum was staring at...because there are changes that the body goes through, and it looks like he's busted for staring at your breasts," the late-night host said. After a picture of Mila and her co-star appeared onscreen, she said, "Hold on! That's awful. Here's the thing...I swear! I know him and I love him. He really wasn't. But, boy, do these things grow! I don'

Netflix Pumps Brakes on Will Smith Action Film ‘Fast and Loose’

Image
  Netflix has slowed development on its upcoming action-thriller “Fast and Loose” which Will Smith has been attached to star in. The project has been moved to the streamer’s back burner in the days following the 2022 Oscars ceremony, during which Smith walked onstage and slapped Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about the appearance of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. In the week before the Oscars ceremony, director David Leitch reportedly also pulled away from the project, electing to move to the Ryan Gosling vehicle “Fall Guy” for Universal. After beginning to search for a new director, Netflix has now halted “Fast and Loose” in the days following the Oscars. It remains uncertain whether Netflix will return to developing “Fast and Loose” and, if so, whether the streamer would seek a new star for the project.  The story of “Fast and Loose” would follow a criminal who loses his memory after an attack. After mysteriously waking up in Tijuana, the character is forced to discover
