'Flashy' Corey Gamble has taken a style 'step up' since Kanye West left Kardashian family but it's a 'little too much' | The Sun

COREY Gamble is using fashion to boost his profile in the Kardashian empire, especially since Kanye West's exit, a stylist has claimed.

But she thinks the former talent manager's poor taste and fixation on silk won't help him make the cut.

For many Kardashian fans, Corey Gamble has lived in the shadows as the long-term partner of matriarch, Kris Jenner.

Similarly, given each family member's massive style status, the Atlanta-born talent manager hasn't appeared to warrant a second glance.

More recently though, Corey looks to have quietly built up an array of fashionable friends and acquaintances.

And in fashion circles, he looks to be shaking things up these days.

Corey's standard relaxed and nondescript T-shirts have been swapped with pricey, eye-catching silk get-ups by Dolce & Gabbana.

Recently it appears the Italian brand has collaborated with him with the Kardashians celebrating the new line at a luxury dinner.

While at a Lakers basketball game on Tuesday, February 7 Corey was mocked online for changing his clothes mid-way through the match.

As Corey mingled with the likes of Jay-Z he was spotted in a gold silk get-up toward the end of the game but had arrived previously wearing a dark T-shirt and pants.

In an exclusive interview brand image consultant Tavia Sharp told The U.S. Sun: “Corey’s new style is flashy, and recently he's been putting himself out there and wearing silk.

“Before Corey started wearing the Dolce & Gabbana silk items and the new collaboration, his style was all over the place.

“He’d mostly be seen in dull sweats and plain T-shirts and would only dress up for big events with Kris.

“Corey then started wearing the silk and the leopard print clothes.

“From there he was saying, this is my new look, and so the Dolce & Gabbana silk looks are now Corey's signature look.

“This is similar to Kanye West and how he pushed a fashion brand.

“Corey was always in the background and, before Kanye left, who was that more dominant figure in the Kardashian empire.

“Now that Kanye’s gone and Corey has moved in with Kris, he probably thinks there's space for him to shine.”

Despite their 25-year age gap, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble's relationship continues to go from strength to strength.

The pair first met in 2014 in Ibiza when Corey was working for Justin Bieber and Kris was going through a tricky divorce.

2015 saw Corey make his first appearance on KUWTK before the pair finally moved in together last year.

"He's been so amazing moving into the house because he really handles everything," Kris said at the time.

She added: "There's so much security. I love that side of him, because he's always really protective."

Previously, it was Corey's strained relationship with Kim Kardashian's then-husband Kanye West that saw some members of her family question him.

In season 16 on the show, Kim revealed a disagreement between the two.

"Kanye texts Corey something along the lines of, 'Look, we don't know you, we've never met any of your family members'," she said at the time.

And ever since the controversial rapper's divorce from Kim, Corey has begun to significantly evolve his profile.

“Before now, Corey was just kind of in the background in his T-shirts and sneakers and he's taken this step up," adds Tavia.

"More recently, Corey has also been posting a lot more about the Kardashian family on Instagram.

"There are photos with Kim, Khloe, and Kylie and at birthdays with the family members.

“So now he's saying, okay, I'm important, I'm with this family, and I have a way to show myself now Kanye's gone.

“The style transformation's also very clear and Corey's gaining traction online."

And it's not just a wardrobe transformation, Corey seems to be taking a genuine interest in fashion.

Tavia says: “There has been a couple of Dolce & Gabbana fashion shows too that Corey went to with Kris.

"This all started around that time.

“One was in Venice where the brand did a big Fashion Week presentation and invited every celebrity on the planet.

“So there’s the collaboration now between Corey and D & G, where they also might be behind some of this style refresh.

"Kim could have even helped him with getting this collab.

“He’s really started to push for his own identity as well.

“Also on Corey's Instagram, there are photos of him looking flashy on the yacht with a cigar."

Tavia does feel some aspects of the transformation are "risky".

She says: “He's taking a risk with all the silk.

“It looks comfortable, but he's trying to stand out.

“In one photo where Jay Z is wearing linen, Corey is head to toe in silk, which is the full look.

“He's really taking a risk and likely thinking, it's my time to shine, and I'm going to just go for it.

“One outfit he has on he looks like a pimp, despite him looking for higher-level luxury associations.

“Over time Corey has been associating himself with brands like Riva the luxury Italian boating brand.

"He also moved from Tommy Hilfiger towards the higher end, Dolce & Gabbana.

“He's pushing himself to the next echelon, which the Kardashians are good at, and because Kanye's gone.

“This move upwards would've been too tricky for Corey before now and with both men doing it at the same time.

"I'd advise Corey to experiment with his style a bit more and that not everything can be head-to-toe silk.

"If he wants to be recognized for his fashion sensibility then he needs to have more diversity in his style.

"He could wear denim, suiting, and smart casual outfits.

"He needs to think of what might be appropriate for events where he'll be spotted.

"These could be for date nights with Kris as well as business meetings."
