Riccardo Tisci is a defender of the defenseless -- Kim Kardashian and Kanye West! The Givenchy designer told Details mag that he surrounds himself with people he likes like the famous couple, regardless of their social standing. What a freedom fighter?!
In the interview, the fashion icon also said that he stood by Kimye when no one else would. This must be what the North felt like in the Civil War!
"They feel that I'm not there to dress a celebrity. I dress people even when they don't have an Oscar nomination or they don't have an album out," he said. "If they're my friends, I respect them to the end. And you need to feel people stay with you because they love you, not only as an artist, but also as a human being. Look at Kanye and Kim — at the beginning I was the only one."
Wow -- way to march to your own drummer, Riccardo. You took a chance on the most famous couple in the world! Kudos to you! What a risk taker!
The completely self-absorbed style maker said, "I didn't care what people thought about Kim." Ricardo also said he liked Kim even though everyone else basically hated her. "In the beginning, I met her because of my respect for Kanye, and then I liked her a lot and we became friends. I got killed because of this. But I didn't care. That is a friend, you see. And that is why, when they got married, they asked me to dress them. They say, 'You've always been with us. You've been a real friend.' If I like somebody, I like somebody. If I don't like somebody, I don't like somebody."
Aww poor baby got killed. Glad that all three of them have somehow managed to recover. We were all supes worried ...
