For the Kardashian-Jenner women, fashion is a family affair.

“When I love, I love really hard. And I’m all-in. I expect a lot and I set the bar really high… I will give everything I have – physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially, I’m in,” Kris shares in the issue. “When you love unconditionally, that’s a huge thing. Because that means that you love through anything. Love is a very powerful emotion, and it just doesn’t come and go for me. It’s like the perfect storm.”
“I’ll pull it together and be really strong for someone else. That gives me strength — when somebody else needs me,” she shares. “When I’m needed, I’m at my best. When I’m not needed, I get restless. I get anxious. I want my kids to need me because it gives me purpose. I’m the captain of the ship. So it’s my responsibility to make sure everybody’s okay.”
From a young age, Kris says she’s had a maternal instinct, explaining she always knew she wanted a large family.
“Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to have a big family. I used to sit when I was in high school and think, I can’t wait to have six kids – I specifically said the number six.”
She’s seen that same maternal instinct in her daughters, especially Kim, who the family turns to anytime there’s upheaval.
“Kim is an extremely emotional person who’s so full of love and affection for me and for her kids and her husband and her sisters and brother,” Kris explains. “But she’s strong and calm in the midst of a storm. She’s like the one we all run to asking, ‘What the heck just happened?’ I’ve learned a lot from her.”
“Some people can’t handle what I have to give. I am very emotional – I can get hurt and I can cry. That pain is real, but it used to be a lot harder,” she shares in her essay. “I’ve lost people who I loved, and still love, very much,” she shares in her essay. “I’ve been disappointed in friendships over the years.”
But her focus always remains on protecting her family first.
“At the end of the day, the reason we are so tight-knit is that there’s nothing that can get through the coat of armor. There’s just nothing. I love my family so hard that there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for them.”
