As per PageSix, she took on social media and wrote, “I support these incredible artists who worked tirelessly, with their hands, using wool, silk, and foam, to sculpt this embroidered Lion.”

The post contained several behind-the-scenes photos of her from the Couture Paris Fashion Week, where she walked the ramp to showcase the lion head that Jenner wore as well. The lion apparently represents pride which is an inspiration by Dante Alighieri’s ‘Inferno.’
