Kim Kardashian has talked in the past about how her sudden style overhaul went hand in hand with her budding romance with Kanye West. But now she's revealed the full extent of the rapper's influence. In an interview with CNN Style she credits him with 'changing everything' about what she wore and reveals that he consults on every one of her outfits.

Speaking during a dress fitting with Givenchy, which she allowed CNN to film, she said: 'I really think that my relationship with my husband Kanye really changed everything.' She then admits: 'I mean, back in the day I thought I had the best style. I look back at outfits and I'm, like, mortified.'

She credits her husband - who recently presented his second Yeezy collection at New York Fashion Week - with 'helping me push my limits a little bit and trying new things.' Gushing about him, she adds: 'Kanye sees what’s out there on the streets and just knows how to translate that into something that would look good on me.'

The mum of one also admits that the fashion industry was something of a grey area for her pre-Kanye: 'I remember one day, he brought me [former Vogue Paris editor and current CR Fashion Book editor] Carine Roitfeld's book and was like, "You should be, like, studying this book, this is, like, the fashion bible." And I was like, "Who is Carine?" I knew nothing. And he said, "Watch, one day she’s going to style you."' To be fair - Kanye was right, as Kim appeared on the third issue of Carine's CR Fashion Book.

She went on to reveal that Kanye acts as her stylist, approving all of her outfits: 'I love my husband's opinion, so I always ask his opinion on everything and he always helps me put together my looks. Kanye sees my body obviously every day, so he can understand what works well on my body type, so it's been really fun to dress and we try things that work and some things that don't work.'

Speaking later about how she's changed up her look to accomadate baby No. 2, she shared: 'Being pregnant and a lot heavier, I think you have to show off the curves. It's not like I'm trying to hide my pregnancy, whereas my last pregnancy, I was trying to find looks that would hide it. You just have to embrace it, to show the bump.'

Though, mention also had to go to Riccardo Tisco of Givenchy, her other right hand man, who dressed her for her first MET Ball and also sat her front row before she had any previous prominence in the fashion world. She said of the designer 'Riccardo is the first designer that took a chance on me,' she said. 'I'm so grateful that he saw a vision and was willing to dress me, because no other designers were at that time.'
