Kim Kardashian may still be receieving the cold shoulder from hard core fashion folk but that that hasn't stopped her mission to penetrate (no inuendo intended) the fashion scene. Earlier on this month New York magazine revealed their fall fashion issue fronted by the reality star and she also bagged that big L'Uomo Vogue cover too and now the first image of that Nick Knight shoot for V has been released.

Knight took to Twitter to reveal the preview image from the shoot saying: 'The very lovely Kim Kardashian. Preview from the series of pictures I shot of Kim for SHOWstudio and V magazine.' Kim quickly resonded by retweeting the post with exclamation points. So, what with Kanye West restyling her, I sadly suspect that there's a lot more where that comes from. US Vogue still seems like a definite no but with West by her side, I'm sure fashion doors will begin to open for her and very quickly.

What do you think of the image?

If you happened to notice (and question why) Dorothy Perkins was trending on Twitter today, that's why. Today Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian confirmed that, from November, the high street store will be the first UK retailer to stock their line, Kardashian Kollections.

'We're looking forward to expanding our line and making Kardashian Kollection available to so many more people,' the trio told Grazia Daily. 'We pride ourselves in hvaing a line that is affordable and yet of great quality and we're excited to bring it to new territories.' According to a release, the offerings available at Dorothy Perkins will include clothing and handbags with footwear to follow in 2013 and will be available in 250 stores, as well as in concessions and online.

The one thing you can say about the Kardashian brood, it's that they're committed. Over the past few years they've been determined to cash in on in their name by ensuring that just about everything in your wardrobe is 'designed' by them. Well, that's if you're a fan of course. In the past few months alone they've announced the launch of a make-up line and a new jeans range targeted as plus size women and yesterday, they announced the launch of something else.

The threesome released this image from their new eyewear campaign, which will be sold exclusively in Sears. If you were wondering why they're all wearing those questionable lace pieces, there'a a good reason behind it as the campaign also showcases their new collection of lace body hugging dresses, which will be sold in the store too.

For the last few years Kim Kardashian has been a major cover star. Her US Glamour cover last January was the magazine's best selling cover of the year, so rather unsurprisingly she landed more covers than anyone else for 2011 but it looks like things are changing.

This week WWD published a piece on the success of the various magazine's issues so far this year and Kimmy isn't doing too well. Her January cover with sisters Kourtney and Khloe was the magazine's worst seller and so was her March cover for Allure. But we shouldn't write her off too quickly. Both covers came around the same time as the backlash after the announcement of her divorce from Kris Humphries. Now she's mixing with fashion folk with Kanye West, I wouldn't be surprised if things went back to how they were.

Do you want to see Kim on more covers?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made their couture show debut at the Stephane Rolland show earlier on today. While, it's true, fashions shows don't usually tend to start on time, the pair rubbed people up the wrong way by taking that a bit too far by turning up an hour late.

We're all used to editors and buyers turning up late but the hour delay didn't go down particularly well with guests at the show, especially editors trying to deal with the busy schedule of shows today. According to Red Carpet Fashion Awards' Katharine Kallon, the pair were so late that the show organisers were forced to start the show without them and WWD tweeted that the pair only managed to slip in and see the finale.
