Kim Kardashian on SKIMS:

In an interview with Time Magazine in 2023, Kim Kardashian spoke about the brand and explained that it was born from a “very vulnerable” place.

“It’s just a part of me,” she told the outlet, adding, “I take it really personally. It started with my body and my shape, and it’s very vulnerable.”

She created the brand with the help of Jens Grede. The brand launched during the pandemic offers a range of skin tones and varying sizes.

“It started with just finding shapewear that would match my skin tone,” Kardashian told TIME. “I used to take my shapewear and dye it with tea bags and coffee in the bathtub.”
