This bi-weekly series spotlights dynamic women, from entrepreneurs and small business founders to CEOs and celebrities, and discusses their style ethos, empowering products, and how they balance life alongside their fast-paced careers. and how they balance their lives alongside their fast-paced careers.
When Khloe Kardashian and her business partner Emma Greed launched Good American, they set out to make really good jeans in a wide range of sizes. The collection consists of classics like blazers, button-downs, and wide pants, as well as shiny bodysuits, leggings, miniskirts, and faux-leather separates that can inject some fun into any dreary morning meeting.
To present her latest size collection, Kardashian also enlisted the help of her mother, Kris Jenner. Says Kardashian. 'We're not just picking five pieces and pretending like we're doing something good for the community. We offer every piece (in the collection) in every size range. Because everyone should be seen, included, and heard, and we should all be able to choose what we want to wear and how we want to see ourselves," she said, noting that Good American is available in sizes XS through 5XL.
Before that, we spoke with the mother-daughter duo about what the work day looks like for members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, the clothes that make them feel empowered, and the launch of their latest Bosswear.
Kris: I have an internal clock that wakes me up every day between 4 and 5 a.m., so I don't really differentiate between work days and non-work days. I enjoy my coffee, check my email, get on the treadmill, and do "Pilates" before going to the office or to the movies.
Chloe, Mom, I love you, but I always say this. It's the "S" in Pilates. It's not Pilates, it's Pilates.
Chris: It's all about the details, Chloe. I told you, life is in the details.
Chloe: Yes, baby. My mom raised us to take the day and make the most of every minute. I get up every day at 4:30 at the latest. It's a maniac morning. Now that my daughter (4 year old True Thompson) is in school, I work out every weekday morning at 5:30 or 6:00. The rest of the day is a mix of Good American design meetings, photo shoots, and other business.
Chris: My process has a uniform and I set my clothes the night before like I'm five years old.
Chloe: Yeah. [Chris: I have to have an overall vision of what my wardrobe is going to look like the next day. So depending on what I'm doing, I'll have everything ready to go and be able to wear it from one day to the next.
Chloe: That's probably what I'm doing wrong. I don't lay out my clothes the night before because sometimes I fight myself getting dressed in the morning. [Chris: I taught you. I taught you. [Chloe: No, I do it for True. I'm doing it for True.
Chris: My uniform is what I wear every morning, usually a dark colored body suit, blazer, leggings or pants. Chloe, that scuba suit (opens in new tab) and that fabric has changed my life. I'll probably wear it a lot, so I'll buy two.
Boots are also a big part of my uniform. Thanks to hip replacement surgery last year, I'm more comfortable in boots than heels. Today I'm wearing either The Row riding boots or Valentino boots, and I've always worn the same uniform because in the 80s it was all about nice leggings, nice boots, and a blazer or a cool jacket. And here we are again.
Chloe: There is a lot of truth to the saying "dress for success." When you look good, you carry yourself well. I try to pick out clothes that make me feel confident. Wearing a blazer makes everyone feel powerful and like you know what you're talking about.
No matter what room I walk into, a blazer will do the trick. You can dress it up or down. [Blazers and bodysuits are my staple. Bodysuits are form-fitting, so everything is tailored and tucked in.
Chris: My shopping philosophy is becoming more tailored these days. Simpler.
Chloe: I don't follow trends. I know what looks good on my body and sometimes I'm not sure about trends. I like to keep it simple, especially when considering shopping for the workplace. A bodysuit or a nice suit can be worn in many different ways.
Chloe: Many of the classic workwear brands did not offer a wide range of sizes. The options were very limited. Many women were left out of those conversations, limited to having a particular aesthetic and unable to choose what made them feel sexy and confident.
Chris: Chloe, I am so proud of you and Emma. You have truly rewritten the rules of fashion by putting inclusivity first. Every woman deserves to find the perfect fitting dress, wide pants, or jeans. And the silhouettes you and Emma have created are perfect and look great on everyone. [Chloe: Thank you. Someone grab a tissue. [Chris: Mine is a scuba blazer. I really love it.
Chloe: I hate to say the same thing ...... I love jumpsuits. I love them. I'm a jumpsuit person. I think jumpsuits are more of a nighttime thing, but you can wear them in the daytime. It's sexy, no doubt about it. I don't have to think about the rest of my clothes. I love the last one in pink (opens in new tab). The denim one (opens in new tab) is also cute and comes in several sleeve lengths. They're really, really cute
Chloe: For me, it's kind of sexy. I like to be a little edgy. Sexy" It's so much easier when someone else does it. Mom, I'll describe your style, you describe mine. [Chris: Okay: Mom's style is chic, elegant, and opulent. I feel like I'm watching Dynasty. It gives me everything I need, and it feels like every detail is thought out and makes sense. I don't always think about every detail, I'm like, "I gotta go, I gotta get out of the house," but you think to the last centimeter of your body and tie it all together. That's respectable. I have to work a little harder myself.
I respect your style because it's edgy, it's sexy, it's inviting. Your style is your own and it makes every item you wear delicious. I think it's delicious.
Chloe: My mom comes over and shows me her bags and jewelry. It's like I'm always dealing with a princess. Like a queen.
Chris: You are a princess. You are always on top, always leading. And you're raising two little children, my little grandchildren.
