“Both Kim and myself have been vocal about Skims’s mission to set a new standard in terms of innovation, quality, and inclusivity since launching the brand in 2019, and we embrace the high expectations our community holds us to,” Jens Grede, cofounder and CEO of Skims, tells德赢提款. “We also recognized a gap in the market to offer adaptive solutions that are not only accessible and easy to wear, but that are also extremely comfortable, sleek, and available in an assortment of shades and sizes.”

“It’s my goal to create a more equitable and accessible world for every body, so I love working with a brand that continues to evolve and design creative solutions with the same ethos in mind,” Bassett told德赢提款. “When I tried these super-soft pieces, the hook and eye closures made getting dressed and styling my everyday outfits so much easier.”

Founded in 2019 and initially marketed as a shapewear brand, Skims has expanded over the past three years into a full range of undergarments, as well as lounge wear and apparel. Propelled by Kardashian’s influence, the brand’s best-selling launches often boast waitlist sign-ups more than half a million names long. Grede says that Skims’ secret sauce is its continued focus on customer feedback.

“Our customer naturally remains at the center of everything we do,” he says. “Constantly engaging in dialogue with them motivates us to find solutions to their problems or gaps within the market to create exciting products that inspire them. Some of our most successful collections to date were originally motivated by requests and needs from our community.”
