Skim maternity
In 2020, Kim launched a maternity shapewear line for pregnant women to feel more comfortable and easy during their maternity days. However, the concept faced an immense negative reaction, as it promoted compression shorts and smoothing materials for pregnant bodies. Besides, Kim went all the way to explain that the materials are not to shrink the bodies but to relieve the pain caused by swelling after giving birth.
Kimono shapewear
Before officiating her Skim Shapewear brand name, Kim actually planned to name it Kimono, but as you already know, this eventually, put her in the center of the controversy. Following this, people accused her of cultural appropriation, specifically of lacking Japanese culture knowledge. The kimono is a representation of the beauty and elegance of Japanese culture. And many Japanese fans, including the Mayor, don’t want to deal with something that markets shapewear rather than cherishing the real essence of Japanese culture. Subsequently, Kim understood the seriousness and that is how the name Skims was born.
