PS: What’s the dynamic like designing the kids collection with your sisters? Do they always play the "mom" card?
KK: In the women’s line, it's very equal, but with kids, my sisters have very strong feelings. We can all agree on silhouette or body style, but Kim probably wishes there were a lot more blacks, grays, neutrals. We do make things in darker colors for North, though. Honestly, everything looks cute to me. I sit back and choose my battles in the kids line.
PS: What's been the biggest surprise in making kids clothes?
KK: I had no idea the level of detail involved when designing kids clothes. Each piece goes through so many checklists and tests — to see if it’s safe. God forbid a child could choke on something, so we have to make sure any embellishment or button can’t be easily ripped off things. I never knew that or thought about it before.
