Kim, who had to change the original Kimono name of her brand after cultural backlash from Japan, is having the last laugh as SKIMS becomes more than just a Kardashian brand. Boasting its new "Fits Everybody" range, one that follows the immense pandemic success of the "Cozy Collection," SKIMS has been shouted out by the likes of comedian Chelsea Handler and actress Kathy Bates. It's also loved by Martha Stewart.

“When I said I wanted seamless shapewear, everyone looked and thought that I was crazy," Kim told Harper's Bazaar this year. More photos below.

The mom of four, still in the news for having filed for divorce from 43-year-old husband Kanye West in 2021, added: "The thing that always bothered me [with other brands] was that there would be a seam up the front. You would have this really tight dress and then see this seam, defeating the purpose of wearing something that is supposed to look like there is nothing underneath."

Kim continues to run SKIMS alongside her best-selling KKW Beauty brand. If you missed what 23-year-old Kylie Jenner just launched, scroll.
