Daysis keeping up with her commitment to promote healthy body shapes
for British women.
The reality TV favourite - famed for her voluptuous rear - this week
launches her new fashion range in the UK.
Kim, 32, knows all too well how much pressure women can face to look
good, and admits she's had to learn to deal with so much attention
being given to her shape.
She says: "I am really glad to be able to promote a healthy, natural
body shape, eating well and exercising and appreciating the shape
that you naturally have.
"I was a teenager in the 90s, which was the era of grunge, the waif
and heroin chic. Female models were skeletal, and with my Armenian
background that was a mould I was never going to fit."
Tomorrow Kim, along with her sisters Khloe, 28, and Kourtney, 33,
will unveil the new Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins.
The range features more than 100 pieces in sizes 8 to 16, and is
designed to make women of every size feel sexy.
Aside from her busy working schedule, Kim has been making headlines
through her showbiz relationship with rapper Kanye West, 35.
Kim admits she has never been happier and said of the relationship
in a recent interview: "We know what we are to each other.
"We've had a deep friendship for so long and that's the start of a
really good relationship.
"It's so nice to have a best friend in this game who understands
everything you're going through.
"He's been there through so many different stages of my life and before
I was famous, so this relationship is a different thing entirely.
"I can't even think about being with anyone else other than the man
I'm with."
Despite her track record of failed relationships - including her
infamous 72-day marriage to American basketball player Kris Humphries -
Kim admits she still easily falls in love.
"I'"I'll always believe the next one is 'The One', I'm such a hopeless
romantic," she says
"It had always been my dream to have a big wedding. When people said
that I'd made the wedding day over the top for the TV show, that was
just me. I am over the top.
"But the next time I want to do it on an island with just my friends
and family and that's it."
Despite having recently returned from a romantic trip to Italy with
Kanye to celebrate her 32nd birthday, Kim says it is not overblown
gestures but daily affection that counts.
"I don't think romance is about one big thing, but about the way that
someone treats you every day, and Kanye is very kind and thoughtful,"
she explains.
And her idea of a perfect date? "I really like a guy who is confident,
so I like a guy who has a plan for a date.
"There is nothing worse than a guy who shows up and just asks what
I want to do.
"A really simple date of good food, and really good conversation with
someone who I really have a spark with is perfect."
Always open about her life and relationships, Kim has accumulated
16.5million followers on Twitter.
But despite her huge online fan base, she says she has a love-hate
relationship with social media, which has been a breeding ground for
online bullying against the star.
She admits: "Yes, I have been the subject of mean comments and nasty
put-downs.
"I am confident enough in myself that I just ignore it. But what
worries me is young people on social media who take these remarks
to heart.
"I would like to say to them that the faceless bullies that target
you are people who are just too weak to make a stand in the real
world. Be confident in yourself, hold your head high and ignore them.
"If someone is really suffering, then I would say to definitely speak
to a friend or a parent.
"My sister Khloe was bullied a lot when she was younger, so we now
actively take a stand against bullying to help put a stop to it.
"It's something we all feel very strongly about, and it's important
that our fans support us in trying to get people to be kinder to
each other."
Now in their seventh season of reality show Keeping Up With The
Kardashians, Kim and her family have had every aspect of their lives
broadcast to their fans.
And you could win a chance to see the family in action up close by
taking part in our exclusive competition to meet the sisters during
an exciting trip to the US, right.
With such little privacy, constant paparazzi attention and a huge
fan base, it is difficult to understand how Kim manages to keep
herself grounded.
But, as she reveals, she has no choice when surrounded by such an
open family.
She says: "It would be impossible for me to get too full of myself
with my family to pull me into line. Any girl with sisters who will
tell it like it is will always stay pretty grounded."
Since designing the new UK collection, the curvy star just can't get
enough of the way British girls dress.
Kim - who will meet fans at Westfield shopping centre in west London
on Saturday - says: "I love British style.
"Girls over here are really creative in the way they style outfits.
"Maybe it's the weather, but I find girls here are really great at
layering different pieces, mixing things up and accessorising to get
a look that is unique to them.
"Our line for Dorothy Perkins is definitely designed with the British
girl in mind."
And for Kim, there's no contest when it comes to choosing the clothes
that make her feel sexiest.
"A really great dress that shows off your curves makes you feel
sexier," she says.
"You get a hint of cleavage and the fabric highlights your curves."
