The Fashion Bomb News Breakdown: Kim Kardashian Had The Idea For The Nude Paper Magazine Cover, How Much Romeo Beckham Made From Burberry, and The Reason Why Kendall Isn’t Walking The Victoria’s Secret Runway
So about that Kim Kardashian kover of Paper Magazine, apparently it was Kim’s idea to go sunny side up. “We ended up trying one thing that didn’t run and that we didn’t think worked,” said editorial director Mickey Boardman of the shoot. “We hadn’t planned for her to take her clothes off. She wanted to and it kind of fit with the theme, and Jean-Paul was super excited about her attitude and Kim was super excited.” And as for that Break The Internet thing, it’s mostly because when Kim tweeted about their first shoot, it broke the Paper website.

At 12 years old Romeo Beckham is making bank! The pint sized son of Victoria and David Beckham made a reported $56,000 for his film and ad campaign with Burberry.

I don’t sign off every invoice that comes into the building” — we’re not doubting that the figure is in that ballpark area. (The Fashion Spot)
For those of you looking to break into fashion, we’ve got some sobering truths for you. First and foremost, you’re not going to make that much in your entry-level magazine role.

Reports say that jenner, along with It model Cara Delevingne, will be walking the Chanel show the night of the Victoria’s Secret runway and it’s expected that a new Pharrell song and Lagerfeld’s film will all drop that night.
