Kim Kardashian has announced the new name of her shapewears line recently. The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star seems to be obsessed with her name. Earlier, the product line was named ‘Kimono’. As soon the name was announced, many memes around “Kim-oh-No” appeared and she faced huge criticism for cultural appropriation.
Dropping the old name, Kim asked her fans for suggestions and was quite surprised by the response she met. After months of anticipation, she finally took it to her official social media handle to announce the launch of ‘SKIMS Solutionwear’.
Claiming to be the closest thing to the body to support and accentuate the curves of a woman, ‘SKIMS’ is made up of a very soft and supportive fabric which easily blends with the skin tone. Sharing photos online with the women of different sizes, Kim wrote, “My fans and followers are a huge inspiration to me – I’m always listening to their feedback and opinions, and am so grateful they shared their ideas for a new brand name. After much thought and consideration, I’m excited to announce the launch of SKIMS Solutionwear™”.

SKIMS Solutionwear™ is coming September 10. I love the idea that the pieces will be the closest thing to someone’s skin, skimming with amazingly soft and supportive fabrics which accentuate the best parts of our bodies.

Other than sending out body positivity messages, by covering a variety of sizes ranging from XXS to 5XL matching with most skin tones, Kim again created a huge buzz because of photoshop failure. In the image shared by the actress, everyone looks natural except her who supposedly was not present during the photoshoot and was added later.
