Kim Kardashian West said one of her proudest moments was discovering that Martha Stewart was a fan of her shapewear brand, SKIMS.
In an interview with Vogue on Monday, Kardashian remembered being at a party in New York when Stewart stopped her to talk about the brand.
“She stopped me at a party. I’ll never forget. I am obsessed with Martha Stewart. So I was walking around New York and I heard, ‘Kim! Kim! ‘ And I turn around and she’s like, ‘I just need SKIMS. I love that!’ “Kardashian said.” I was like, anything for you! It was a very proud moment that Martha Stewart wanted SKIMS. “
Kardashian West also told Vogue that Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates once sent her a handwritten note raving about the SKIMS model.
“It made my day, and we have to put it in a campaign,” said Kardashian West.

What differentiates SKIMS shapewear items from other brands’ clothing are their inclusive options. SKIMS modeling pieces are available in nine different skin tones and in sizes from XS to 5X.

Kardashian West told Vogue that before launching her brand, she used to dye modeling pieces she bought from other brands with coffee and tea bags to match her skin tone.
“I would take this and put it in the sink and put coffee bags and tea bags and let it rest there, dip and dye to get a darker nude tone. There are so many different skin tones. If I can’t find mine, I know my daughter when she wants to, she won’t be able to find hers, “” she said.
When SKIMS was launched in 2019, the line sold out in a few minutes, according to TMZ.
Since then, the company has expanded into relaxing clothing, underwear, children’s clothing, slides, face masks and maternity shapers.
“It is my heart and my soul. I love that. I really started from scratch in my head about the items and parts that I really felt were needed, ”Kardashian West told Vogue. “I love that people say, ‘You made modeling cool again.'”
