'I started crying': Kim Kardashian on the moment Kanye West told her to throw out piles of shoes and clothes in wardrobe makeover

She has credited Kanye West with improving her style, and previously said he encourages her to ‘dress sexier’.

But Kim Kardashian wasn’t initially so thrilled about her now-husband giving her a wardrobe makeover.

While appearing on Live! With Kelly And Michael on Monday, the 34-year-old recalled bursting into tears when Kanye decided to throw out a bunch of her clothes and shoes.

‘When we first started dating, he went through my closet, he put everything he thought wasn't cool enough in a pile,’ Kim revealed.

The reality star said she ‘started crying’ when she saw the pile, which she said was as tall as ‘the ceiling.’

But despite her tears, Kim said she decided to trust Kanye’s opinion, and that it paid off in the end.

The rapper gave the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star an ‘entire room filled with new clothes,’ which she described as all ‘really cool designer stuff’.

Kim added: ‘It really helped me fall in love with fashion. I eventually did get rid of all that stuff, but at the time I couldn't see it.’

Now, she says it has ‘been such a fun process to learn so much about fashion’.
