KIM VS VOGUE: FIGHT

A Vogue cover is the only thing the reality star wants but can’t have

-

There’s one magazine cover Kim Kardashian is desperate to be on – and nope, it’s not heat. She’s already fulfilled that dream. The star is obsessed with getting on the cover of US Vogue, but no amount of money or Kanyepersu­asion can win it for her.

In 2014, in the run-up to their wedding, she and Kanye appeared on the front of the fashion mag, giving Vogue their biggestsel­ling issue of that year. When talking about the achievemen­t on KUWTK, she admitted she “couldn’t breathe” and that it was her “dream come true”.

But her ultimate goal is her own, Kanye-free cover. Unfortunat­ely for Kim, though, that’s definitely not happening – and she’s fuming. The source says, “The reason she got the first cover was because of Kanye. Anna [Wintour, Vogue’s editor] thinks he’s a genius, but she doesn’t like that he and Kim are a package deal. The main reason she associates with her at all is Kanye. She came to Kanye’s fashion show last month, but didn’t look happy. Kim has tried everything to win Anna over, but nothing works. Kanye is caught in a horrible position because he still feels indebted to Anna for all the support she’s given his fashion line, but knows how bad Anna’s rejections make Kim feel.”

Kim and the Vogue supremo have been friendly in the past – Anna is to blame for daughter North West’s name after she agreed it was a “genius” idea. In 2016, Kanye showed his appreciati­on by featuring the magazine editor as one of the nude wax figures in his dodgy Famous video. Er, maybe not the best way to get her on side.

But Kim’s got a cunning plan to show she doesn’t care about Anna’s snub – she’s lined up the cover of a rival mag. The insider says, “Kim’s so sick of spending years trying to please Anna to no avail. She was really hoping for a cover this year, so when Anna told Kanye it wasn’t going to happen, Kim saw red. Now, she’s landed a cover interview with Vanity Fair, who want to do a big tell-all interview. The plan is to delve into Kim’s robbery in Paris, Kanye’s breakdown and how the family picked itself up after such a traumatic few months.

“Kim has it in her head that she’s going to get some sort of vengeance on Anna, but Anna won’t care.” n
