Styled by celebrity stylist Law Roach, Kim recreated the iconic nurse-inspired ensemble from the French luxury fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection, originally designed under the creative direction of Marc Jacobs.

The reality star has once again dipped into the fashion archives, this time bringing back one of Louis Vuitton ’s most memorable runway looks from nearly two decades ago.
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 featuring personalised caps and black lace masks embroidered with 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. The styling closely echoes the original Louis Vuitton runway presentation while giving the ensemble a contemporary celebrity-fashion twist. Kim’s latest fashion moment is part of her ongoing collaboration with stylist Law Roach , which began in September. Roach has been helping the star explore iconic fashion archives and revisit memorable runway creations. The Louis Vuitton ensemble is the latest addition to Kim’s growing series of archival fashion appearances as she promotes the second season of her show All’s Fair.
The original outfit made its runway debut during Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2008 show, when Marc Jacobs was at the helm of the fashion house. In recent weeks, she has also stepped out in a vintage Dolce & Gabbana floral dress inspired by the brand’s Fall/Winter 1997 collection, continuing her fascination with iconic fashion from the past.
Milliner Stephen Jones created Kim’s customised nurse’s cap for the look, according to InStyle .
