Kim Kardashian Revives Rare Louis Vuitton Nurse Look

Kim Kardashian has been wearing several archival fashion pieces in recent months, revisiting looks from different designers and fashion houses, since kicking off her collaboration with Law Roach in September. Her latest appearance brought back one of Louis Vuitton’s iconic runway looks.

The look featured a sheer white organza dress with buttons running down the front to mimic a lab coat. She wore it over a yellow slip dress, paired with white tights and peep-toe pumps. She also wore a sheer lace Louis Vuitton monogram face mask over her face. On her head was a white nurse cap, which was customized for her by milliner Stephen Jones after her stylist, Law Roach, reached out to him. The look was completed with a colorful logo bag, which she carried on one arm.

Roach sourced the outfit from Lauren Pyes, a Harvard University employee whose collection of Marc Jacobs-era Louis Vuitton pieces is largely unmatched. Pyes shared pictures of Kardashian wearing the outfit on Instagram, expressing her excitement about being part of the moment.

“It’s been my wildest dream that the arbiter of style, fashion and pop culture, Law Roach, would reach out to me to architect such an epic moment, and I can never thank you and Yves enough,” she wrote.

She also thanked Kardashian for her contribution to fashion and pop culture, adding: “Among the many things I admire about you is your reverence for fashion history and how you bring it to life while making it distinctly you.”

The original nurse-inspired look made its runway debut during Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2008 show. The collection featured a series of nurse-inspired ensembles worn by supermodels, including Naomi Campbell and Stephanie Seymour. The models walked the runway in distinctive nurse outfits with personalised caps and face masks bearing the Louis Vuitton monogram.

The collection was inspired by American painter and photographer Richard Prince’s Nurse Paintings series and also marked a collaboration between the artist and the fashion house.

Since beginning promotions for the second season of her show All’s Fair, Kim has continued to revisit pieces from past collections. One of her recent appearances saw her wear a vintage Dolce & Gabbana floral dress from the brand’s Fall/Winter 1997 collection.
