Even though the Kardashians, a surname that cannot be separated from the Jenners, have been celebrated so many times for having changed beauty standards thanks to their curves, they have rarely assumed the consequences of showing so much physical artificiality. It was in the ninth episode of the third season of his reality –in which Kylie Jenner, who tried to make the world believe that her voluminous lips were the result of her brand’s lipsticks only to later admit to having resorted to infiltrations, who told Kourtney Kardashian that given the influence they have, perhaps they would have to assume the impact they have on aesthetic standards. “I see many young girls on the networks and on the internet who are totally edited. I also went through that stage, but now I’m better. This can instill insecurities in other people,” the cosmetics businesswoman explained to her sister.

However, at the Schiaparelli show, she was the one who once again left the world stunned by transgressing aesthetic parameters by wearing a Haute Couture dress from the brand with a waterfall of crystals with which she showed off a silhouette worthy of Jessica Rabbit. , following the new parameters of the family: many curves but being thinner than in the past. A tweet from Elena von morgen It was the one that made us think about it. “Kylie’s body (like that of the rest of the clan) is impossible without surgery and a lot of money, but here in particular she wears a tremendous hourglass corset and padding (padding, like that of drag) on ​​the hip: when walking, you can see how it moves,” the journalist pointed out on her networks, who has uploaded a video in which she demonstrates how the figure can be altered to simulate that silhouette “watch of sand” in a few minutes using a corset.

Let’s see, Kylie’s body (like that of the rest of the clan) is impossible without surgery and a lot of money, but here in particular she is wearing a tremendous hourglass corset and padding (padded, like that of drag) on the hip: when walking you can see how it moves.

“I know how corsets work perfectly because I was a goth in high school, I love the Victorian era and I like that silhouette, so I’ve been in a corset all my life,” she explains to S Fashion. “When I saw the images, it is true that I thought that Kylie had lost a lot of weight, but the truth is that her body didn’t fit me, so it was when I saw it in motion that I understood what we were looking at. When I saw her sitting down, I noticed that she was wearing padding, a silhouette that in the 40s, thanks to Dior, was imposed, but I wondered how people could know it when they saw it. Taking into account that our minds are totally distorted about the reality of bodies because of the networks, in which, as Kylie precisely clarified, everyone narrows their waists as if they were Disney princesses, I thought it was important to clarify that these images have behind a lot of work. In real life, no one has that body without a corset, because the proportions are not realistic,” explains the journalist, who clarifies that with her video she has tried to break the distortion that the images of the youngest Jenner can generate.

Project under construction

For his part, José Luis Díaz Megías, creative director of the fashion brand It-Spain, assures when seeing the images that behind Jenner’s Jessica Rabbit silhouette, there is an important work of interior corsetry. “We must also emphasize the materials and cuts of the design, as they help achieve that silhouette, since we are talking about a haute couture dress. Kylie may have some padding, but I’m not sure if it’s padding. In this case we are not talking about a reducing corset, because it would bring out more belly, but rather it is one made to measure,” he explains.

Virtues Ruíz and María Vicente, cosmetic surgeons and doctors with consultations in Murcia and Lorca, believe that beyond fashion issues, the silhouette of the Kardashians and Jenners, with generous rounded shoulders and devoid of cellulite and dimples, may require going through the operating room using specific buttock prostheses. “We are talking about an aid, mainly with hyaluronic acid for the body, to finish rounding and giving a beautiful shape to this area, since with prostheses we achieve projection and elevation, but if they do not have a rounded shape they do not look beautiful. That’s why we use hyaluronic acid to finish rounding them, and now also polylactic acid, with which we give firmness to the skin in this area and improve cellulite dimples if there are any,” they say.

Therefore, all the experts consulted agree on the importance of clarifying that this image is not the result of genes or chance. For fashion designer Maya Hansen, there is a lot of work and art behind it. “With a corset you can do miracles, and we have to keep in mind that behind the images there is a team that works to bring that image to light, because it is pure marketing. I believe that with good padding and structures, someone who has a size 38, for example, can achieve something similar, but it must be clarified that there is a lot of internal work in this type of garment. The result of what we see for a few moments is really the work of months of work on his body, with various sessions to test him and make sure everything fits like a glove on his body. In haute couture we talk about a task that can last for months,” says the designer, who dressed Jenner when she celebrated her 18th birthday.

José Luis Díaz Megías also believes that the work behind the image is intense. “We have to start corsetry training. If you put on a corset every day, your body, after three months, will take that shape. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you take it off and you’re left with that shape, but it is noticeable. What you need to know is that under a dress of these characteristics there is usually a base corset or a bustier corset. In short, those who live off their body, like the Kardashians or the Jenners, can achieve that silhouette with training, corsetry, surgery… In the end, their figure is their work tool, if they go to these extremes, it is because they love it. They make a profit,” he says. José Luis Díaz Megías does not hesitate to differentiate this look from the one Kim Kardashian wore at the MET gala emulating Marilyn Monroe and sparking controversy. “Kim’s dress was a design with a soft transparent fabric, so in that case, it would have been impossible to add corsetry, because the piping would be visible. She possibly wore a catsuit reducer that tightens and shapes. If she had resorted to corsetry, she would have given a touch of orthopedics. The Kardashians, when they choose to put girdles on top of girdles, then have to put a stocking on top, like drags do, so that the cuts are not noticeable,” she explains.

An ad hoc corset

Both designers agree that Jenner is not wearing just any corset, but one created exclusively for her. We asked Hansen how these types of custom designs are created for the silhouette of a well-known client. “What we do is ask for some faceless photographs and a table of measurements taken by a professional. In fact, sometimes we even ask that two different types of couturiers take the measurements, since there are usually differences of opinion on how they are taken and thus we can obtain a more or less real average of their measurements. With profile photographs, from the front, from the back and sometimes, with a 360 video, as well as with height, which is something that marks the sizes (along with chest height, it is a basic measurement for a corset maker) you can start shaping and working. It is essential to ask what effect she wants to achieve and if she wants any specific reduction measures. If for example she wants a tightlacing, which was used in the 17th and 18th centuries (Mister Pearl was the master), we talk about extreme corsetry, and there we get into extreme reduction patterning. That is why it is essential to know how many sizes you want to reduce and how many centimeters of waist you want. “We have flexible Russian mannequins that you try the corset on and it’s like you’re putting it on a real person,” he explains. “In the end, it is a work of architecture about the body. We are the designers who are most similar to architects,” he points out.

The problem with the silhouette that the Kardashians defend and how it has influenced women’s body image is the way in which they have suggested that their appearance is the result of training and surgery, as Jessi Kneeland, author of Body Neutral: A Revolutionary Guide. By doing so, they remove both resources and privileges from the equation. “It is important to stop overvaluing and always put the focus of what is valid on the physical and/or aesthetic. It is not about whether a curvy body or a slimmer body is better or more real, because they are all real and valid, but rather about stopping giving it so much attention and importance. Even if it is intended to give a positive message, sometimes it generates more noise and even new phobias or rejections. This dissatisfaction with not reaching those desired benchmarks generates the search for resources of all kinds to modify the body, sometimes over health. We should not confuse wanting to look good, enjoy our body and aesthetics, with reaching benchmarks that are also impossible no matter how much you exercise a lot or change your diet,” says Blanca Torrado, psychologist at Espacio Psiconutrición.
