Before Kanye, they were reality show celebrities. They were not invited in the high fashion world. Kim wasn't getting vogue opportunities, or meeting with Anne Wintour.

They were cheesy reality stars. Reggie Bush cleaned up Kim's image after that ray j stuff, and Kanye changed her style to be less cheesy and more fashion and refined.....Kim was on that being the special guess at clubs to boost up sales, drinks, etc....She was making a lot of her money from being a socialite and reality shows, and all that crazy shit that family was going through with Bruce Jenner, etc. They were not high society at all.

Kanye opened the door for the kardashians into the A lister world of fashion, hip hop, etc. Kim wasn't WORLDWIDE. Kanye made that happen.

Kendall Jenner is a shit ass model, and is not respected in the model world. Because a lot of models feel that she gets her runway opps, etc, because of Kanye's connections, and the fact that she never had to work hard to get her opps like they did, and her disrespect towards them.

Kanye was already big in fashion, music, and entertainment in general.

Hell there are several articles on it. ...This isn't anything new

Without Kanye, that family would have continued to be a cheesy ass fashion line, reality tv, socialite family. Yeah, they had money before Kanye,but they didn't have A class celebrity. People in Europe didn't care about the focking kardashians, no matter who it was...
