"Part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it," Anna Wintour wrote in her letter from the editor for the 2014 issue of Vogue.
"I learned to accept my body when the trend started becoming less about super, super skinny models that was completely unattainable for anybody to have," Demi Lovato explained to Allure. "Kim Kardashian—say whatever you want about her—but she has revolutionized what's accepted with curves nowadays."
"[She] obviously has enormous influence, and she is more and more aware of what she wants and the images that she chooses to project, which she is in complete control of," Sarah Jessica Parker gushed to The Daily Mail.
"[Kim's] intelligent, sweet, beautiful...she's started coming to my shows, and some people criticized me. But I love Kanye, and now I love Kim, and I didn't care what people thought," the Givenchy creative director gushed to The Hollywood Reporter.
"I have to say, [Kim] has been such a staple in my life. When it comes to TV, to having a curvy body and being a big sister. So for me it was like meeting my hero," Ashley Graham revealed on her podcast Pretty Big Deal in 2018.
"Kim is like a fantasy, period. She's like a dream girl and I think a dream girl should live in a dream world," Kanye gloated to Vogue.
"When I found out that I was going to be interviewing [Kim], I was like, Oh my God, my whole life has been building up to this moment," Jennifer Lawrence revealed at a talk for The Wing. "I wanted to get as much information as I could. I wanted to do my due diligence on Kim Kardashian. I went to Kris [Jenner]'s house and had dinner with the whole family."
"I don't care what anybody says about Kim. I love her. I love that she is a woman but has more power than so many men. And I love that she is so powerful but always takes care of the people she loves. And I admire her because she is the best in the world at communicating with people," the creative director of Balmain told The Guardian.
"Over the past decade, Kim Kardashian West has mastered the meaning of influence in the digital age," said iconic designer and CFDA chairwoman Diane von Furstenberg said in a press release.
"Kim is the most important and powerful influencer in the world," Tommy Hilfiger echoed in the 2018 CFDA press release. "Every time she wears, posts, or talks about a fashion brand, there is an immediate and significant increase in both awareness and sales."
"I think [Kim] is a young woman who is evolving all the time, and one shouldn't make a decision about anybody. She is not baked and done—I'm not either—so let her experiment and delight in the choices she has to make, and let's be kind to one another," Sarah Jessica Parker told The Daily Mail.
"I was proud when she received the cover of American Vogue. Four or five years ago, no fashion house would touch her. But Kim represents the woman of today—she defines society today," the creative director of Givenchy told The Hollywood Reporter.
"Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world's spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that," Anna Wintour wrote in her letter from the editor for the 2014 issue of Vogue.
"There's no way a Kim Kardashian shouldn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Everyone is so dated and old-fashioned," Kanye West revealed on The Jimmy Kimmel Show in 2013.
"I filmed here with Kim once … now it's impossible to get a reservation," the reality TV personality and longtime friend of Kim told Refinery29, referring to NYC Greek restaurant Nerai.
