Their initials are TK, and that’s how they asked to be referenced in the post.

i just doubt their style would be the way it is if they werent famous and affluent. like 4 years ago they were still crimping their hair and wearing clunky shoes and ill fitting spaghetti strap dresses. their choice in friends, along with opportunities to showcase their style (credited to their money and events they are seen at) is why there is such a great hype. i used to love their clothes, but now that i go to school in ny i appreciate seeing beautiful outfits that i cant immediatly identify who makes it… mks prada turbin, christian l platforms, balenciaga bags…the designers do the work creating the pieces. its really not that hard styling expensive top of the line pieces. alot of the pieces they wear speak for themselves

MK&A are freaking brilliant. They’re like gods among mortals… haha… really though their looks and persona (and money!) allow them to wear things no one else can– and they look effing amazing 90% of the time. I find them totally inspirational!! (And also I freaking adore them!) :)

I wasn’t saying anybody should follow fashion magazines for style cues KA, that choice is ones personal option.
My point is that designers & showrooms loan/give clothes to magazines to sell items. Magazines are trying to provide aspiration & inspiration for their readers; believe it or not, that is part of their job.
How we personally feel an outfit looks is irrelevant to the editors at W. Their main concern is ‘how many (advertising) pages did we sell’!
Considering it was an 80s story. An Alaia waist cinching belt on a hot pink jacket is a HOT editorial choice. That same Alaia waist cinching belt looks just as hot on MK&AO!
It’s all about personal choice!

I think that quote is right on :)
I do get inspired by the eds in magazines but I’m far more inspired by MK’s everyday look. She makes being fashion forward seem so effortless that it makes sense for just a coffee run rather than just for a big event.

i agree scarlett, but i think its just that no one is taking pictuers of harley and madison so even though mkanda might not be the trendsetters they early adopt and wear the trends well – kind of like a walking vouge magazine? they clothes are always well styled and interesting even though i doubt anyone would argue they actually start any trends themselves (well, don’t start trends for anyone outside of the flyover states)
