Kim Kardashian Has Officially Relaunched “Kimono” As “SKIMS Solutionwear””
Two months ago, Kim Kardashian launched a line of shapewear called Kimono, which got entirely too much attention due to the fact that she tried to trademark the word. The general consensus was that Kim’s attempt at trademarking the word kimono was beyond shameless, and Japanese people were pissed. Kim pulled the name and went back to the drawing board, and now she’d like to introduce you to her new, improved, and generally less-offensive underwear line, SKIMS Solutionwear!
Kim Kardashian Might Be Changing The Name Of “Kimono” To “Solutionwear”
We all watched the messy train wreck that happened when Kim Kardashian trademarked the word Kimono for her brand of shapewear. Kim tried to shut up the haters who accused her of cultural appropriation, but it wasn’t enough. Eventually the mayor of Kyoto got involved, and she was forced to change the name. Kim recently did some major damage control for her shapewear brand by way of an interview with the Wall Street Journal (via People). Say goodbye to Kimono, and hello to the generic-sounding Solutionwear.
Kim Kardashian Issued A Statement Defending Her “Kimono” Kollection
If she had the chance, Kim Kardashian would absolutely pull a Rick James and gleefully destroy your pristine white couch by stomping on it with her shit-covered clear plastic Yeezy PVC wedge shoes and then have the audacity to send YOU an invoice for services rendered. That’s essentially what she’s decided to do to a centuries old Japanese garment. Kim’s released a statement in response to the widespread criticism she’s received over naming her new “solutionware” line of undergarments “Kimono“, and trying to trademark that shit. According to E News, Kim defended herself against accusations of cultural appropriation and outright disrespect by claiming she did it for the Kulture.
