Despite being an extremely successful brand now, Kim's journey with Skims hasn't always been smooth sailing, with the star originally aiming to name the line Kimono.
However, after receiving backlash for cultural appropriation, she quickly changed the name and apologised, saying: "I didn't understand that it would've been offensive. We ran it by retailers, we ran it by a bunch of people we respected. Everyone seemed to really like the name.
"I understood what people were saying and I would never want to intentionally disrespect a culture. I would never intentionally want to also hurt my brand have that association."
Kim also hit the headlines when she was accused of Photoshopping a campaign for her Skims shapewear line where ‘her finger literally distorts into a worm due to poor editing’.
Kenzie Brenna took to her account to repost the video, calling the alleged Photoshopping ‘sad’.
“We’re honestly so over this kim!!! you are beautiful, STOP digitally enhancing yourself to change your body or your face. this is adding to the epidemic of young girls and women who absolutely hate themselves and end up with BDD and other body image related mental illnesses,” she wrote.
“Do people not understand how this affects mental health?!! media literacy is so important. unfortunately i don’t trust a signal image that comes out form that family because everything is manipulated.”
