Kim and Rihanna’s BFF Bares All

Olivier Rousteing, the famously young designer of Balmain and BFF to Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, and everyone else who is way too cool for school, graces the cover of French magazine Têtu this month. While he designs sexy rock and roll looks for the iconic French brand—think shoulder pads, jumpsuits, and lace-up leather—he wears, well, absolutely nothing on his first cover.
The designer guest-edited the issue, and said of the risqué cover, “I wanted to show that being naked is one of the most chic things.” Sure, that’s one way to look at it, or maybe all the time he has spent with Kardashian, is rubbing off on him. After all, her now weekly attempts to break the Internet have left us more familiar with her butt (and let’s be honest, her cooter) than we are with our own. Rousteing, however, does not show off “the full monty.” We only get to see a bit of side butt, which, as nudity goes, isn’t even half as good as side-boob. So it’s basically nothing.
The magazine, which will be published on Wednesday, features an interview with Kardashian (duh), in which she talks about her youth and “shows her point of view as a woman,” which I guess might involve a bit of nudity also, but who knows? He most recently featured her, making out with her husband, in the Balmain menswear Spring campaign.
This officially makes the Kardashian Magazine count reach 1,000,000.
