Kim Kardashian has hired a stylist for North West.

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who has a 15-month-old daughter with her husband, rapper Kanye West - has employed the style guru and tailor to help her co-ordinate her look with her daughter by creating mini versions of her designer outfits.

A source said: ''Kim has hired North her own personal tailor whose sole job it is to make mini versions of Kim's designer outfits and ensure they always co-ordinate.

''The tailor, who is also paid to act as North's stylist, works with Kanye and Kim's styling team to create her looks.

''Some are collaborations or commissions to designers themselves and others are created in-house.

''Her wardrobe is planned well in advance with regular meetings to discuss looks for the family's public appearances, and North has versions to match a lot of what Kim wears, from dresses to handbags and shoes.''

Kim, 33 - who was criticised for dressing North in a black chiffon dress to match her own Givenchy ensemble at Paris Fashion Week last month - brushed off the verbal attacks and insists it's ''cute'' to match her daughter.

The source told Britain's Grazia magazine: ''Kim loves dressing North up. She thinks it's really cure when they wear the same outfit.''
