London, May 27 (IANS) Rapper-turned-fashion-designer Kanye West has been giving Kim Kardashian some fashion advice.

Kanye has been having chats with Kim about her style. He thinks she should be more like him, edgy with her choices. He keeps saying she should evolve as a fashion icon, thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Kim ran a clothing boutique with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian as well as her mother Kris Jenner before finding fame. She has also created a successful apparel line named Kardashian Kollection.

However, West thinks Kim needs to be more adventurous with the image.

Kanye says she plays it safe too much so has been trying to pick outfits for her to wear and encourage her to be more daring, the source said.

The couple spotted at Cannes Film Festival in the South of France this week for the premiere of West's new motion picture title Cruel Summer.
