And having dressed the stars of the Bachelor for the past four seasons, the fashionista – who works closely with Sophie Monk – has revealed the secret behind the perfect first date ensemble.
In a chat with Whimn this week, Kim said: ‘Dates can be awkward and nerve-racking at the best of times.’

‘My ‘no-go’ tip would be to never wear anything you don’t feel comfortable in.
She added: ‘If you feel good in what you’re wearing it will help boost your confidence and hopefully make for a more enjoyable first date.’
Having worked on multiple seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, in addition to The X Factor and The Voice, Kim is in hot demand in the entertainment industry.

But two of Kim’s most memorable stressful moments occurred when working with personal clients Sophie Monk and Mel B.
Styling the Love Island Australia host during her stint as The Bachelorette last year, disaster struck with one of Sophie’s pivotal gowns.
‘Her gorgeous red promo dress was a big deal’ Kim recalled during a chat with Jules Sebastian in her Tea With Jules YouTube series in April.
‘And we were about to get her ready in it and there was a spillage all over the dress and I actually burst into tears.’

And while she was able to remedy the problem in time in that instance, an issue with Mel B’s latex ensemble during an appearance on The X Factor in 2016 called for some resourceful ingenuity.
‘Mel hadn’t tried it on prior to her going out for a live show,’ Kim remembered. ‘She put it on and her boobs were sticking out. We had 30 seconds to go and so Mel went back and put it on backwards. I don’t even think I saw the final product until she got out on stage.’
And to make the dress work, Kim had to employ the use of pliers, cutters, wire, nail polish, talcum powder, lubricant and two screw drivers.
