Kanye West was Danielle’s client first

Danielle styled Kanye West before she moved on to Kim. She connected with Kanye’s team through Mel and worked as a stylist assistant before being promoted to stylist. While working under him, she pursued her design passions.

“When I was working with Ye, he had a Yeezy atelier available and we were never limited to what exists,” she told CR Fashion Book. “We were always creating, so I’ve always been designing because he wants to be ahead.”

Danielle has been styling Kim for years, often popping up in various pictures, and teamed up with her to help the reality star curate a collection with Dolce & Gabbana in 2022.

Danielle has been linked to Israeli singer Ben El Tavori since 2022. Fans first noticed Danielle pop up in a photo on Ben’s Instagram Story. At the beginning of 2023, Ben appeared to take Danielle home to Israel to meet his family.
