Kim Kardashian’s friend and long-time stylist Danielle Levi was recently spotted in Paris alongside the Skims mogul and her 13-year-old daughter North West, whom she shares with her ex, Kanye West.
In the city for Paris Fashion Week, Kardashian and her daughter once again sent the media into a frenzy as articles about the tween’s edgy aesthetic made headlines. Ahead of the Vetements menswear show, West stepped out sporting several faux piercings, including one on her nose bridge, an anti-eyebrow piercing that sits under the eye, and two piercings on her top lip. The mother-daughter duo previously received criticism from fans when it was revealed that the “Piercing on My Hand” singer had got microdermal piercings on her hand when she was only 12.

But West isn’t the only Kardashian who’s grabbed attention and sparked media discourse over her style: the whole family is no stranger to going viral for their sartorial choices. Kim has broken the internet several times due to her outfits.
So who is Danielle Levi, the stylist behind Kim K’s hottest looks? Read on to find out.
What is Danielle Levi’s background?

Danielle Levi was born in Israel and grew up in Jerusalem. She later immigrated to the US for high school. She has previously spoken openly about feeling out-of-place when she first moved to the States, turning to fashion in an effort to fit in.
“When I moved to America as a teen, high school was a culture shock,” She told Forbes in 2022. “I was wearing modest, baggy linen clothing and everyone was dressed in Abercrombie. I didn’t fit in at all. I felt like an outcast and just wanted to connect with other kids and feel like I belonged, so I started to study fashion, read magazines, watch music videos. Eventually, this became my career.”
She worked for Rihanna’s former stylist

After high school, Levi moved to Italy to study design at Accademia Italiana. After graduating, she began working as an intern for several celebrity stylists until she met Rihanna’s former stylist and Interview Magazine’s editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg, who hired her as his assistant.
Levi went on to work for Kanye West’s team, through which she met Kim, and has since collaborated with the socialite for several of her stand-out looks.
“She has a specific body type where we just want everything to, first of all, look good on her and her body, and then consider the fashion and the colours. New ideas come about after that. We love for everything to be super form-fitting, that’s kind of the vibe. It’s just what we’re feeling according to our environment in the moment – music, architecture, everything,” the stylist has said about working with Kim in an interview with CR Fashion Book.
Who is Danielle Levi dating?

Despite being connected to one of Hollywood’s most prominent socialites, Levi is very low profile, with little to no details about her private life on social media.
She was last linked to Israeli pop-star Ben El Tavori in 2022, when the pair were papped together in Tel Aviv. She also seemingly offered a rare glimpse into her love life when she celebrated her dog’s birthday with an Instagram snap showing El Tavori snuggling the pooch the same year.
