“Kimono is my take on shapewear and solutions for women that actually work,” she wrote in an Instagram post about the new range.
She continued to say, “I would always cut up my shapewear to make my own styles, and there have also been so many times I couldn’t find a shapewear color that blended with my skin tone so we needed a solution for all of this.”
Firstly, the name of her brand has gotten people criticizing. Many people are accusing her of mocking a Japanese garment that holds significant cultural power.
The critics took to social media to express their opinions on the issue. See reactions below:
Yeah, I see the pun, Kim, but appropriating the name of an ancient Japanese garment with an array of sacred associations for your butt 'n' belly flattening brand is just really...something“Kim Kardashian West launches new shapewear collection, Kimono”twitter.com/i/moments/1143…
Naming your product/startup with Japanese words might seem hip and all, but it really sucks for us when our culture is diluted by names of brands that don't have anything to do with what the word actually represents.
And better yet, trademarking it? F NO.latimes.com/entertainment/…

Japanese American survivors of WW2 US concentration camps are protesting kids being sent to those same camps; meanwhile Kim Kardashian really out here trademarking the word #KIMONO for some bootleg underwear line..."ignorant" doesn't come close
