DIRECTOR
It's been almost six years since then, and Kim has since adapted her
business to grow and evolve with her. Right now, that means growing her
clothing line. As for what's next, she's taking it one project, one launch, one
partnership at a time.
"I don't have an end goal where I want to, say, build this empire and make
lots of money and be known," she says. "It's more that I want to keep doing
what I'm doing, and hopefully that inspires another young girl to do what
they love."
My mom and my grandma were my biggest influences. They're very stylish.
She's always best-dressed in the family, so I get a lot of influence from her.
My mom is a little bit more simplistic and feminine with her style, whereas
I'm more of a mix-and-match. I get that balance from both my grandma
and my mom.
I started blogging, but purely as a hobby at first. Honestly, I think the fun of
it was that I didn't know what I was doing. There's no book on how to be a
blogger — I was purely posting things I liked. Eventually, two to three years
down the line, I started doing TV.
My career so far has been very influenced by staying true to who I am. I'll
always be creative, and I'll always be creating things for my fans who are
essentially very young girls who love fashion. I just hope to continue to
inspire them in a positive and light-hearted way. When people see me, they
may think that I don't take things too seriously — which I like, because I
like it to be fun and playful. But behind the scenes, I take my
business very seriously. I want to continue to grow my business, and as we
grow, I want to inspire other girls to follow their dreams.
