SKIMS has a focus on body positivity and inclusivity across the brand and practice inclusive sizing.
Back in 2020, a year after being in business, the ex-wife of Kanye West opened up to Bazaar about what inspired her to start the company.
‘When I said I wanted seamless shapewear, everyone looked and thought that I was crazy. The thing that always bothered me [with other brands] was that there would be a seam up the front,’ she explained.
‘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. I’m all about comfort and glamour at the same time.
