Kim Kardashian’s Christmas Gifts To North West Were Puzzling

Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian West shared a few of the Christmas gifts she and Kanye West put under the tree for their oldest child, North West. Among them, rather unconventionally, were some of Micheal Jackson’s personal items — including a jacket and a white hat. Kardashian West posted photos of the presents on her Instagram story, captioning the hat picture: “Along with jacket, North also got Michael’s “Smooth Criminal” hat. It still has his makeup on it.”  Perhaps even more surprising, though, was that she also gave North the shirt President John F. Kennedy was wearing when he was shot and killed. 

North is apparently a huge Michael Jackson fan. Page Six is reporting the jacket, which Jackson wore to Elizabeth Taylor’s 65th birthday party, has been altered to fit North and can be lengthened as she grows. So there’s some logic there. But we have a few questions. For example, is it ever appropriate for a child to wear an alleged rapist’s clothing? What is North West going to do with JFK’s bloody shirt? And why isn’t it in a museum?

The visual of the shirt posted on her stories is jarring — and raises questions about why anyone would give a child something so violent. But regardless of the motivation behind the gifts, one thing is certain: Kardashian West is building one hell of a fashion archive for her daughter. Two years ago, she told her fans on Snapchat that she set aside specific items for North — even what her then-boyfriend, now-husband threw out because he deemed it ‘uncool.’

“The fun part is, I kept everything, all for memories,” Kardashian West said on Snapchat, “and when Kanye thought he cleaned out my closet, I kept it all secretly for my daughter one day.” It’s a motive she’s had ever since Kanye invited a stylist to clean out her closet in 2012, which cameras caught for Keeping Up with the Kardashians. In the episode, West holds up an oversized fur-lined purse headed for the chopping block, but Kardashian West quickly defends it. “But shouldn’t I just keep this for, like, my daughter one day?” she asks.

Apparently, the answer is always yes.

Streetwear Subscription Service Threadbeast Now Offers Options For Women

Virgil Abloh may have declared streetwear “is gonna die,” but Threadbeast, a new subscription service, is challenging that, allowing customers to curate their own monthly “drops.” Since its launch in 2015, ThreadBeast has seen a significant increase in requests from women who want the same dope streetwear offered to its male customers. So, the brand has decided to roll out a more female-friendly subscription option. 

Threadbeast’s main priority is providing high-quality streetwear at affordable prices. “We do our best to focus on designers and brands that are trending and are actively working to include more options from women designers,” Uday Singh, Threadbeast’s founder and CEO said.

Here’s how it works: You fill out a style profile before joining the service, and Threadbeast’s stylists use this as a guide to curate your box. “We always recommend our subscribers email us with their specific style preferences and our stylists ask for feedback after each is received to gather data for future boxes,” said Singh. 

Don’t expect to find the latest sneaker release in your box (like, say Travis Scott’s next drop). Instead, boxes are curated with products already available in stores — and you get to keep whatever’s in your box. “We work with different brands constantly and are always looking for new vendors to partner with,” Singh said. 

“We like to introduce members to brands they might not be familiar with and keep them anticipating who we’ll work with next.” Currently, Threadbeast works with over 150 brands including G-star raw, Diamond Supply, Jack & Jones, Primitive, and Levis, just to name a few. 

Women are allowed to choose from both mens’ and womens’ pieces for their boxes. “Some members ask for only tops and sweatpants, others for only jeans and graphic tees,” Singh said.  Subscribers can downgrade to a different plan, change the frequency of payments and cancel their subscription at any time. The only subscription fee is the monthly payment members make each month before receiving their box. The payment allows members to keep all the items they receive in their box.

If this service is any indication, femme-friendly streetwear might be the next wave for the new decade.
