OHMYGOSSIP — Bruce Oldfield has praised Kim Kardashian West for helping women to embrace their curves. The 69-year-old designer – who has designed clothing for stars including Rosamund Pike, Jerry Hall and the late Princess Diana – says women are more accepting of their curves since Kim, 38, stepped into the spotlight. He told the Daily Mail newspaper: “Women now no longer just want to look thin. Since Kim Kardashian — a Vogue cover girl, no less — the goalposts for what a woman wants her figure to be have changed. They want curves. In the old days, you’d cover up a big bum. Now, young It girls and influencers display theirs with pride in figure-hugging clothes. It’s great that we’re moving away from one prescribed body shape; it’s more democratic and realistic.” Bruce also praised his late friend, Princess Diana, for her resilience. He said: “I’ve dressed women young and old, from Charlotte Rampling to the Princess of Wales, Faye Dunaway to Queen Rania of Jordan. “My clients trust my instinct and honesty. I’m a sounding board — the good friend a woman can tell everything. “Don’t let life pigeonhole you. That was a life lesson taught to me by another strong woman: the Princess of Wales. We were friends. She had such grace and charm and also taught me another thing I’ve come to live by: not to let the brutes get you down.”
