Kim Kardashian West said one of her proudest moments was finding out that Martha Stewart was a fan of her shaping clothing brand SKIMS.

In an interview with Vogue on Monday, Kardashian recalled being at a party in New York City when Stewart stopped her to talk about the brand.

“She stopped me at a party. I’ll never forget. I’m obsessed with Martha Stewart. So I was walking in New York and I hear, ‘Kim! Kim! “And I turn around and she says, ‘I just need SKIMS. Love it! “” Said Kardashian. “I was like, anything to you! It was just such a proud moment that Martha Stewart wanted SKIMS.”

Kardashian West also told Vogue that Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates previously sent her a handwritten glowing note about the SKIMS shapewear.

“It made my day, and we have to get her on a campaign,” Kardashian West said.

Kardashian West launched its shapewear line in 2019

What sets SKIMS shapewear items apart from other brands’ clothing is their inclusive options. SKIMS shapewear pieces are all available in nine different skin tone shades and sizes ranging from XS to 5X.

Kardashian West told Vogue that before launching her brand, she used to dye body-shaping clothes that she bought from other brands with coffee and tea bags to match her skin tone.

“I would take that and put it in the sink and put some coffee and tea bags and let them sit there, soak and stain to get a darker shade of nude.” . There are so many different skin tones. If I can’t find mine, I know my daughter when she wants, she won’t be able to find hers, ”she said.

When SKIMS launched in 2019, the line sold out within minutes, according to TMZ.

The company has since expanded into loungewear, underwear, children’s wear, slides, face masks, and maternity wear.

“It’s my heart and soul. I love it. I really started from scratch in my head for the items and pieces that I really felt needed,” Kardashian West told Vogue. “I love that people say, ‘You brought style back to fitness clothes.'”
