KIM KARDASHIAN CHANNELS JACKIE KENNEDY FOR INTERVIEW MAGAZINE

Interview magazine has elected Kim Kardashian to be “America’s New First Lady.” And the reality super star steps into the role seamlessly, channeling a latter-day Jackie Kennedy Onassis in all her uptown elegance and poise on the magazine’s latest cover and spread, including an in-depth interview. Certainly, this is a whole new Kardashian, a far cry for the butt-and-bust-reveal-all Kardashian that inundate the web. Immaculately coiffed, meticulously dressed in tailored pieces and accessorized with gleaming pearls, gloves and vintage Chanel, Kardashian and her daughter North West were shot by Steven Klein. The imagery is highly evocative of a Jackie Kennedy, a long-term style icon who captivated American and beyond, a First Lady that everyone admired. An intelligent woman and a natural beauty with a strong fashion sense who continues to fascinate and obsess, from the streets to designer studios, even after over twenty years from her death and more than fifty years after she lent her touch to the White House. A presidential feel created by sumptuous curtains, vintage furniture, carpeting and a splash of animal prints serve as the backdrop for a Sixties Jackie Kennedy feel. Needless to say, it all generated a ton of buzz and controversy that will further heighten Kardashian’s celebrity status and implement the allure of the American Dream.
