SKIMS is the new, solution focused approach to shape enhancing undergarments, created by Kim Kardashian West.
Searching for the best shapewear and underwear over the years, Kim became frustrated with the lack of options available and couldn’t find anything that offered the right support, coverage or shade. This led her to cut up and dye pieces at home, sewing them together to get the solutions and results she wanted.
SKIMS is Kim’s answer to shapewear that actually works. Designed to smooth, enhance, lift and tone - each piece has a solution for every body.
