The full scope of how Kim Kardashian’s fashion choices impact the cultural zeitgeist can’t be overstated. It’s been argued<\/a> that the ubiquity of online fast fashion can be attributed to the ‘Kardashian effect,’ with millions of young women desperate to emulate Kim’s looks, immediately and for a fraction of the price (Kardashian has criticized this practice). She has indisputably given momentum to some of our era’s most defining trends: corsets, bike shorts and Matrix-style sunglasses. Designers like Olivier Rousteing at Balmain have dedicated entire collections to her.<\/p>\n

In the last few months, following a global reckoning on the topic of racism, Kardashian has been using her\u00a0 influence to hero the work of emerging Black designers. In June she promoted a knitted set by JBD Apparel<\/a>. Earlier this week, she shared a photo in a blue ensemble by Tyrrell<\/a>, an emerging Canadian label with fewer than 3,000 followers. Today, she promoted the work of Brandon Blackwood, a New York-based designer, most famous for his $55 ‘End Systemic Racism’ handbags.<\/p>\n
