North West Rejects Dating and Vaping Trends: ‘All I Want Is Blue Hair and Piercings’
North West is carving out her own distinct identity on her own terms. Gracing the cover of Dazed, the 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West opened up about her bold aesthetic choices, her musical ambitions, and how she navigates teenage peer pressures by staying true to her authentic self.
Choosing Self-Expression Over Teenage Trends
During her wide-ranging cover conversation, North addressed public discussions surrounding her edgy look and body modifications:
-
Perspective on Peer Culture: North explained how she framed her choices to her mother: “Everyone’s in love with boys, vaping and doing all kinds of bad stuff. All I want is blue hair and piercings.”
-
The Meaning Behind Her Style: When asked what draws her to body art, including dermal studs near her knuckles, North gave a simple philosophy: “They just make you your full self.”
-
Parental Boundaries: While she expresses herself freely through vibrant blue hair and unique accessories, North revealed there are firm limits set at home: “I really want to get my bridge pierced, but I’m not allowed.”
Navigating the Public Eye and Artistic Ventures
Both North and her mother, Kim Kardashian, have consistently defended the teenager’s freedom to experiment with fashion:
-
Defending Her Look: Kardashian previously dismissed online criticism as a “non-issue” while asking the public for grace as she navigates mothering a creative teenager in the spotlight.
-
Music Career Milestones: Following the release of her debut EP N0rth4evr earlier this year, North continues to focus on developing her music career while balancing her personal passions outside conventional teen routines.
