Deconstructed and Dangerous: Kylie Jenner Masters Isabel Marant’s Industrial Romance
The architecture of rebellion has found its muse. This past weekend, cosmetics titan Kylie Jenner transformed the sun-drenched boulevards of Los Angeles into her personal runway, delivering a masterclass in motorcore maximalism that left onlookers breathless and fashion devotees frantically screenshotting.
At the heart of this sartorial statement was a micro miniskirt that defied convention—a sculptural marvel seemingly woven from wide leather belts, each punctuated with industrial silver grommets and gleaming buckles. The construction was architectural, almost origami-like, with twisted leather forming bow-esque silhouettes that blurred the line between armor and adornment. This wasn’t merely a skirt; it was a manifesto in leather and metal, a declaration that femininity can be both fierce and fantastical.
The 28-year-old mogul paired this centerpiece with an equally commanding bulky leather jacket from Isabel Marant’s audaciously grungy Fall 2025 collection. Belted dramatically high at the neck, the jacket featured a layered zip-up closure that Jenner provocatively left mostly undone, offering glimpses of bare skin that created an intoxicating tension between coverage and revelation. The effect was simultaneously protective and provocative—a duality that defines modern luxury dressing.
Her footwear selection proved equally intentional: pointy black ankle-strap pumps adorned with steel toe detailing added an unexpectedly industrial edge, while braided ankle straps punctuated with circular metal tassels echoed the hardware-heavy narrative established above. Every element whispered (or rather, shouted) Isabel Marant, creating a cohesive vision that celebrated the French designer’s ability to marry Parisian insouciance with downtown grit.
But beauty, as Jenner herself would attest, lies in the details. A slicked-back bun provided architectural contrast to the outfit’s textural complexity, while her signature nude-lined pink lip offered a moment of softness amidst all that edge. Mismatched diamond earrings—because symmetry is so last season—added an element of high-low luxury that’s become her calling card.
This appearance arrives at a particularly revealing moment in Jenner’s style evolution. In an August British Vogue interview, the reality television star and entrepreneur confessed that fashion has become her “new baby” following a decade building her cosmetics empire. “There is nothing more fun in this world than cosmetics and fashion,” she declared, acknowledging her renewed passion for sartorial experimentation.
After dedicating her early twenties to motherhood, Jenner is reclaiming her relationship with fashion, diving headfirst into fashion week and editorial opportunities. “I’ve been way more into the fashion world,” she admitted with palpable enthusiasm. “I’m like, ‘Why didn’t I do this sooner?'”
This Isabel Marant moment suggests the answer: she’s making up for lost time, and we’re all here for the show.
