Kim Kardashian Is Proud of Her Daughter's Bold Style

The mother-of-four said she loves to see North's 'creativity' be expressed through her 'unique style.'
Kim has ignored the drama and gushed over her daughter's fashion choices in a September interview.
"She has a really unique style; she puts me on to so many brands," the SKIMS designer explained.
"It’s really fun to see someone be so creative and also know herself so much," continued Kim, who said North "just loves what she loves."
Kanye West Is Allegedly Upset Over North's Style

Kanye West is allegedly not a fan of North's fashion choices.
On the other hand, an insider claimed Kanye, 48, feels North is "way too young to be parading around like this."
"He’s ranting and raving about this, saying Kim’s crossed the line and he’s not going to stand for it," the source spilled to a news outlet.
"It's ridiculously ironic that Kanye’s not happy about this, given the fact he dresses [wife] Bianca [Censori] in revealing outfits seven days a week and encouraged Kim to push the envelope with s--- barely-there fashion choices the entire time they were together," they added.
