You know you’re about to get a gang of quotables when the byline reads: “By Carine Roitfeld and Photographs by: Karl Lagerfeld; Text by: Laura Brown; Creative Director: Stephen Gan.”

We took the time to peruse the story for the most interesting takeaways.

The Taylor Swift shade is flawless, while Kanye’s favorite song of all time is a rock joint.

LB: Favorite song of all time?

KW:“All Along the Watchtower.” The Jimi Hendrix cover.

KKW: I really like the song “Only One” [West with Paul McCartney].

LB: Favorite Taylor Swift song?

KW: For me? I don’t have one.

KKW: I was such a fan of hers

 

Don’t expect stuff in their crib to actually be theirs.

Kim click-clacks in, wearing a long, khaki Lycra dress—”a Yeezy sample”—and full, precise makeup. Kanye perches on a coffee table between two gigantic white couches. On the table are some art books: Annie Leibovitz, the architect Álvaro Siza, and oddly, one titled Great Stud-Farms of the World. “Huh?” Kanye says when I ask if, for any reason, he’s into stud farms.“Nah, that’s not our book.That’s for staging.”
