New York Fashion Week: The Kardashians — Kim, Khloe and Kourtney — unveil their Bebe line

The latest leveraging of the Kardashian sister synergy hit the runway in Manhattan on Tuesday, as the Bebe-Kardashian line debuted at the Style 360 subset of New York Fashion Week. Since this was five long blocks across town from the Bryant Park tents — the center of the New York Fashion Week universe –the highest wattage celebrity attendee seemed to be the increasingly Amazonian-looking Jenni “J-Woww” Farley of “Jersey Shore” fame, who breezed into the room on glittery legs, wearing a turquoise Ed Hardy T-shirt dress and batting eyelashes the size of small butterflies, causing a Pamplona-like running of the paparazzi.
That was until reigning reality TV queen Kim Kardashian herself stepped in front of a phalanx of runway photographers, clad in a hooded, heather gray stretch jersey dress and black leatherette corset that cinched her figure into nearly Jessica Rabbit-like relief.
The actual show didn’t start for another 10 minutes, but Kardashian had arrived in what the crowd would shortly find out was look number two No. 2 from the new collection — which was designed by the Bebe brand’s in-house team with input from sisters and reality show costars Kim, Khloe and Kourtney — and the message was unmistakable: “Yeah, we’d wear this stuff.”
