As a duchess, you may expect to receive the world’s finest things, but what you may not expect is to have someone very different from you compliment you on your style. What’s even stranger is to have that person design a shoe just for your 30th birthday. Add in the fact that the shoe was designed by Kim Kardashian in honor of Duchess Kate Middleton’s birthday and you’ve got one bizarre fashion story.

The Styles of Kate Middleton and Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian is well-known for her over-the-top, outrageous outfits. She often graces the covers of magazines wearing skintight leopard print dresses and skyscraper platform heels. In other words, her outfits are a lot like Fran Drescher’s in “The Nanny” on steroids. Kim’s outfits couldn’t be any further from those classic styles that Kate Middleton wears. Kate’s wardrobe features sophisticated dresses in solid colors often paired with sensible heels. So how on earth was Kim inspired to design a shoe for the Duchess?
Kim’s View of Kate’s Style
The truth is, or at least this is what Kim says in her birthday video to the Duchess, Kim loves Kate’s style and wanted to design a shoe that fit that style. Whether this was really how she felt or whether it was simply a great way to include a more classic shoe into her line is up for debate.
The Shoe
In Kim’s words, she wanted to create a shoe that made every woman feel like a princess. The shoe, dubbed The Duchess, is simply breathtaking and a perfect melding of the two styles. The Duchess is a black, quilted leather with a graceful silhouette. Whether you’re a duchess or not, chances are you’re going to love this shoe. It could be paired with the sensible styles that Kate wears or kicked up with the risque outfits that Kim chooses. Either way, at a cost of only £39.95 on Shoedazzle.co.uk this is a must-have for any girl’s wardrobe.
Whether this was a clever publicity stunt or a heartfelt way for Kim to welcome Kate to the 30′s club, doesn’t really matter, especially if you love fashion. What does matter is that Kim has proven that her fashion-sense ranges well beyond her own style, which means others may begin to take note of her fashion line. Still, everyone can’t wait to see if Kate dares to add these shoes to her wardrobe.
