"'I'm really big on necklines,' says Kanye with masterly understatement. 'I research T-shirt shapes because that's what we do, me and my crew at Donda. We master T-shirts—the Yeezus-tour T-Shirts, Pyrex, Been Trill, Fear of God, even normal T-shirts with nothing on them. We literally tailor T-shirts. We take that type of stuff super seriously. A neckline means the difference—for women and men.'"

"'What I love about being motivated by Kim,' says Kanye, 'is I don't rest on the laurels of creativity or just the product that I put out. I also think it's important to work out. I don't care how good of a thinker you are, you can't ask someone else to work out for you!'"

"'Is that a really weird thing to be into—the neckline of a T-shirt?' he queries rhetorically. 'Because, for a guy, all that matters is really jeans and a T-shirt, a nice suit every now and then, and working out.'"

"Kanye abhors what he describes as a 'mall-T-shirt neckline' and wears his own cut low enough to reveal a flash of Jacob the Jeweler's diamond-encrusted heavy gold chain and an erogenous slice of his clavicle. 'This is our form of cleavage, right here,' he explains."

"[Kanye] is currently tweaking the gown's sweetheart neckline, which he has likened to a McDonald's M. 'I want to make it more heart-shaped,' he says, 'more graphic, more modern. You can still soften it with the chiffon.' Kim's eyes roll discreetly to the silver-leafed ceiling."

"'I love mixing high and low. I love going to Paris and finding a great piece that I know no one else can find and then coming home and putting it with a skirt that I got for under 20 bucks at Sears, and it looks cool.'" -Kim Kardashian

"As a couple, she and Kanye bonded over fashion, and her sensibility has, she says, been refined through their connection. 'I liked a more glamorous aesthetic,' she says, 'but I think that it's simplified, and I love that. I love evolving. I just think I've been educated a little bit better.'"

"She has been an obsessive eBay shopper since she persuaded her father to lend her the money to invest in half a dozen pairs of Manolo Blahnik's Timberland-inspired Oklamod ankle boots, as worn by Beyonce in her 2003 'Bonnie & Clyde' video and J.Lo in 'Jenny from the Block.' Kim immediately flipped them on eBay for a vast profit. She admits to an ongoing eBay addiction, shopping at night, 'as I'm falling asleep.'"

"Kim is wearing a pearl-buttoned Celine overcoat, black leggings, and a pair of beloved Margiela boots that Kanye bought for her in 2008 ('I was like, "What's Margiela?" back then,' she notes wryly)."

"Madonna once gave a seven-year-old Kim and her sister Kourtney a box of her discarded fluorescent-rubber jewelry, although their school friends refused to believe its exciting provenance."

"I put Kanye's big chains around her, and I put a little Louis bag and some Jordans, and I was like, 'What up, Daddy?'" -Kim Kardashian
