Kylie Jenner covers the latest issue of Vanity Fair Italia. Usually, I enjoy the international editions of VF and Vogue because they take more editorial risks (both good and bad), but these covers are such a snooze. The one nice thing is that I like that Kylie is covered up and they didn’t style her like a plastic doll. We see enough of that on her Instagram, honestly. Kylie chatted with the magazine about her family, her business and dealing with postpartum depression after both of her kids were born. Some highlights:
Her favorite sibling: “It changes over time. Right now it’s Kim. Kim has changed so much recently. We are very connected, she is always the first sister I call when I need something. We have been going through a lot of similar experiences lately.”
The sibling she has the least in common with: “Kendall. Without a doubt Kendall. You know what they say, though? Opposites attract. And that’s how it works with us.”
She learns from all of her siblings: “Khloé taught me tenderness and the ability to forgive; Kendall, the importance of friendship and unconditional love; Kourtney, the value of health and the need to not be superficial. Kim, strength, and the ability to always tell yourself that you can do it, come what may. Kim is really strong, really resilient.”
On Kris Jenner: “From an early age she instilled in us the idea that we could do something great. I don’t know how she does it, but she always manages to be perfect, perfect in every moment. As long as I was living at home with her, she was my mom. When I left home, she became my best friend. As far as business is concerned, my mother is my bulldog and my protector. I respect her so much.”
She also has a tight bond with Caitlyn Jenner. “My father has always been there. At school, at all the plays, at sporting events. She was always there. She taught me one of the most important lessons: to learn to respect yourself, not to be afraid of who you are. It is a fundamental lesson.”
On her postpartum depression: “I would tell those women not to overthink things and to live all the emotions of that moment to the fullest. I know, in those moments you think that it will never pass, that your body will never be the same as before, that you will never be the same. That’s not true: The hormones, the emotions at that stage are much, much more powerful and bigger than you…. The risk is to miss all the most beautiful things of motherhood as well.”
Every so often, someone will post some old clips from KUWTK and the clips will be Kendall and Kylie having knock-down, drag-out fights where they’re punching and slapping each other when they were just kids. I do think they’ve always been worlds apart, and it doesn’t surprise me that Kylie thinks she has more of a bond with Kim. They seem somewhat similar. I also think Kim has (at times) seemed a little bit jealous of Kylie. As for what Kylie says about PPD – I don’t find her words particularly helpful, but I don’t find them harmful either? She’s just trying to empathize and tell women they’re not alone, a lot of women go through it.
