Reflecting on this remarkable achievement, Kardashian expressed her surprise, stating, "Obviously you have big hopes, but this definitely exceeded everything that I ever imagined." Despite the triumph, the reality star admitted to grappling with impostor syndrome, adding, "But I think that's part of what keeps me going."
SKIMS was born out of Kardashian's personal quest for shapewear that matched her skin tone. Starting as a passion project, she recounted how she used to dye shapewear in various shades using tea bags and coffee in her bathtub. Today, the brand offers shapewear in 10 different skin tones and sizes ranging from XXS to 4X, catering to a diverse range of customers. Beyond her role as co-founder, Kardashian also serves as the creative director of SKIMS, actively shaping every aspect of the brand. Jens Grede praised her involvement, highlighting the importance of a clear aesthetic and an understanding of popular culture in successful creative direction.
