Kourtney Kardashian Buck Kardashian Barker unveiled the collaboration sparked by her conversation with Boohoo, a UK-based online clothing company that supports the sale of “latest trends from $5” on its website Tuesday night as part of New York Fashion Week. The fashion show was held on a stretch of Manhattan’s High Line, with more than 33 Industry insiders present . Models strutted to pay homage to Beyoncé’s “Pure/Honey,” which looked straight-up gothic — Buck’s most recent take on the upper aesthetic. The reality star’s husband, Travis Barker, wore a studded leather vest with nothing inside, and family friend Foodgod (formerly Jonathan Chippen) was there.
