Elle U.K. ‘s editor-in-chief Lorraine Candy has Kim Kardashian ‘s back. Candy and her colleagues selected the
Keeping Up With the Kardashians star to cover the magazine’s
Confidence Issue , though some readers disagreed with the publication’s decision to feature her. In her January 2015
editor’s letter , Candy confronts her critics and explains why Kardashian is the perfect pick.The editor-in-chief writes, “For me, confidence is about finding your voice and making it heard. This is not about shouting louder, or indeed judging those women who feel the need to do so; it’s about finding out how to persuade yourself you can achieve whatever you want to.”
