When it comes to fashion, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are known for being one of the most stylish couples ever.
And imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The
pair have inspired two of their biggest fans, Kathleen Lee and Katie
Burroughs, to create a blog full of pictures dressing up like the
world's most talked about couple. (Not just because it's Halloween very
soon).
Fashion lookalikes: Kathleen Lee and
Katie Burroughs created the blog What Would Yeezus Wear posting split
photos of their biggest style inspiration Kanye West and his wife Kim
Kardashian
Kathleen and Katie started #WWYW or What Would Yeezus Wear on Tumblr and Instagram posting split photos of Kanye and Kim's paparazzi shots alongside their own replicas honoring Kimye's outfit choices.
The good friends, who are co-workers from San Francisco, California, chatted with Us Weekly to share the details on how their blog came to be and why Kanye is their style icon.
'The
day I wore the denim shirt we decided to take a pic to do
side-by-side,' explained Kathleen. 'The pic we found of Kanye had Kim in
it, and Katie was wearing almost the exact same outfit so we took it
together.'
Both
girls are mega fans of Yeezus and admitted they constantly fight to
play the part of the 37-year-old rapper when it comes to copying his
style.

'It is always a battle for Kanye,' said Kathleen.
Although
Kim is one of the best dressed women around, the pals revealed Kanye is
the style icon in the relationship. 'No offense to Kim, but some of her
outfits are hard to pull of without her amazing body.'
Kathleen
added: 'We both admire Kanye as a style icon. He has really great taste
and has absolutely influenced how Kim dresses, which she even attests
to herself.'

Down to the smallest details: For
their project, the two friends use the photos of Kimye's casual everyday
style rather than red carpet snaps as examples for their parody blog
even matching Kim and Kanye's poses

'As a couple they are iconic and even their haters can't help but be fascinated by them,' Kathleen explained to the publication.
'I
think that's why they are so appealing for this project, the people
like us who already like them enjoy it, and the haters enjoy it because
they see it as mocking them. We let people think what they want.'

But Kim and Kanye are not the only stars they dress up like.
Kathleen
and Katie have copied the ensembles of Jay Z and Beyonce and have a
'never say never' mentality when it comes to their next celeb inspired
blog posts.
Neither Kanye or Kim have commented on the photo project.
