De Pere Fashion Designer in with Celebs

Wisconsin is a lot of things, but a fashion capital is not usually considered to be one of them.

That's not stopping Tyler Lambert, though. At just 19 years old, the De Pere High School alum already has some of the most famous people in Hollywood sporting original pieces from his self-titled clothing line. Including Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, Kylie Jenner.

Either Jenner or her stylist came across Lambert's clothing line at a fashion showroom to which Lambert had sent samples of his collection for celebrities to pull from, wear and return. He does this all while studying fashion at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Life for Lambert has always been about fashion. Even as a little kid, he found the most joy looking through his mother's closet and flipping through fashion magazines, along with cutting and sewing draperies — gold ones, to be specific. He never once changed his mind about what he wanted to be when he grew up. Still he said if someone were to have told him years ago celebrities and socialites would one day be wearing his designs, he wouldn't have believed it.

That dream became a reality last week when Jenner, who is considered by many the "Queen of Instagram", posted a series of selfies and a video donning Lambert's designs, including two cropped sweaters and a denim jacket.

"My first reaction is, it's super strange," he said with a smile. "I started this out so young and innocently, and now it's grown to be this huge thing. It's bittersweet. Kylie is one of the most followed people on social media."

Jenner has more than 65 million followers on Instagram alone. The six photos of the reality star wearing Lambert's clothing have nearly 9 million likes and 300,000 comments combined. The video has been viewed more than 4 million times, and Jenner was photographed wearing the denim jacket again just days later.

It hasn't fully sunk in that one of his favorite style icons chose his label out of the numerous selections...
