Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian have only a limited amount of time in the UK, and their fans are well aware of this.
With that in mind, Westfield London Shopping Centre was overrun with crazed Kardashian fans eager to meet and greet their idols on Saturday morning.
Police and security guards struggled to control crowds of teenagers surging through the gates to see the sisters who were attempting to launch their Kardashian Kollection.

Kim, 32, was wrapped warm for the promotional activity as she emerged from her hotel in the morning wearing a thick fur cape.
 
The reality TV star is used to being the centre of attention but even she would have been surprised at the response of her cross Atlantic followers.
Khloe, 28, had only arrived in the capital on Friday but got straight into the thick of things by joining her two sisters for the launch.

The X Factor USA host was concerned, however, about the huge amount of people that had turned up and especially the large number people who had camped over night.
Khloe said: 'We’ve already had such an amazing response to our signing at Westfield London today and are so excited to see everyone! 
'We can’t believe how many incredible fans are waiting outside (several thousand!) In order to keep everyone safe, Westfield had to action a contingency plan for those who stood in line overnight and allowed those people to stay in the car park.'

She continued: 'Anyone not already there is of course still welcome to come out today, but I wanted to send a personal message to make sure everyone stays safe!'
Khloe was right to be cautious as many fans were at risk of being crushed against the barriers. Police and security were seen pulling girls out of the crowd for their own safety.
Several women passed out and had to be given medical attention before Philip Green and a police officer spoke to the audience in a bid to calm things down.
