While Kim looks absolutely stunning in the photos and the use of waffles as props seem like a perfect PR decision, fans weren’t happy seeing Kim seemingly waste food all for the sake of fashion.
“Hope so much they’re fake [because] there are people starving and this would be a HUGE waste,” commented one fan. “Wasting food, when so many people are having trouble putting it on their table,” echoed another clearly unhappy with the food being wasted for the sake of promoting the collection.
In all fairness, we too must admit one of the first thoughts that passed through our minds when viewing the images was the wastefulness of the food. Sure it’s a fun angle, but it seems like the same message could have been conveyed with far less food needing to be wasted or even with some stylized prop waffles.
