Kim-oh-no. 😪😪
Lmao
This is underrated 😂😂😂
Neemo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She could have called it kimohya
Hahahha
Idk Skims sounds better and isn't disrespectful.
Skims sounds familiar with Kims brands, or s it. Idk bt isn new 2 me
Skims is a better name lmao I am Japanese and Kim Kardashian is famous in Japan; there are a lot of Japanese who got offended of her using the word kimono.
@@drcommondrate12 using brand name kimono had a link to Kim's name but otherwise was really confusing and didn't suggest it's a solution/shape wear brand
Yes 😔
I’m amazed it was even allowed.
It’s so close to Skins.
In Australia if you register a business name no one can register your own business names with different spelling or allow anything so closely spelled and sounding.
So this confused me 😂
Kimono isn’t even a good name for shape wear in the first place
Yeah, how did they get there in the first place? Makes no sense
Mila Cruz
I understand why she called it “kimono” because her name is Kim
Mac Doodle exactly! Everyone is so sensitive!
Don
I know right,
But I’m happy she changed it to skims because it sound better with her products
At least she still has her name in it
sKIMs
@@dgirl1864 well duh but its not even related to shapewear. shapewear isnt flowy or anything related to kimonos. its literally only just got her name in it. its not being sensitive, kimono as a brand name doesnt suit the product in any way apart from you just wear both.
I can say im impressed that she really took it seriously
Some fashion brand just gave some half assess apology or lame excuses
Good for her
Well it's not the first time she has been called on for cultural appropriation lol did she really have a choice plus I think everyone and their mum knows about Kimonos lol so I ain't buying it.
@@leahx1701 nothing will be good enough for trash like you. She could be donating 100million dollars to cancer research, and you'd down play it by saying this x celeb did it first, or did it more, or "she should have done it along time ago" take your L sweetie.
But still steals from black culture.....
@@Lily.M. what'd she steal? 🤔
Took her a while to get it changed 😒😂
Kim is just surrounded by “yes” people.
You’re telling me that NONE of them knew what a god damn “kimono” was?
It took the mayor of KYOTO to write them a letter to explain what it was? Google Kim...google.
🤦🏽♀️😂
I think they all knew what a kimono was, but thought it was a smart way to play with words.
Елизавета дом absolument what I wanted to say
Its just like saying why white people will never understand racism to the full extent. Someone educated her on it and she learned from it, thats all you can ask for.
Because Kimono has “Kim” in it doesnt mean you can use it as your brand name-obviously people were outraged. On top of everything her collection was manufactured in Turkey- aka Armenia’s nemesis. Being proud Armenians that doesnt seem fair. Its just too much for our little Kimmy to comprehend. She just wanted to put Kim in it thats all 😁thats a major legally blond moment right there.
Lmao tru
As a Japanese, I really appreciate and respect how Kim dealt with this problem. Making mistakes is inevitable for everyone but not everyone can face critical opinions so humbly, admit her mistake and fix it immediately without talking back, like Kim did. I actually love her more than before.
You're my new favourite person lmao
Same
It's also because of the respectful letter of the mayor. ☺
Wait idg y it was bad?
☆☆
The name change was the right thing to do. Period. Love Kim but her team should have known better. Crazy that they didn't think of this.
I know total idiots.
Oh they do. This is deliberate, and kim giving make her look more understanding and all
@@georgekenny6174 Totally
Haya Glamazon cause her team is stupid and only say YES to Kim. Did you hear publicist reply when Kim asked how we didnt figure it out? She was like: “yes”
I guess it's just something you don't think about, I could say the same for America having a peanut butter brand named Skippy when that is something Australians named iconically their kangaroos, Kim isn't the first to do this and she won't be the last one either
I mean, there's Asian people in her team, they really dind't think the name would get any backlash???? Cmon
It's just piece of cloth..I'm Asia.. I don't think Asia care about other people business..but she make a right thing to change name..but nahh its not important
because she works with yes-people that never give her real constructive criticism
Not all Asian people have the same culture.
@@sarahalotaibi1230 I never said that
I think so
With such a diverse team did no one think about how insensitive Kimono was?
misha diversity of appearance does not always translate to diversity of thought
I think this was calculated. I would have not known about Skims if this didnt have a big head-line attached to it.
They probably thought they could get away with it
They did know. They wanted the backlash. One for publicity and two so stupid people can give her credit for "listening" to the critics.
The plan from the beginning was to name it Skims. This is what pr stunts look like in the social media era.
H P makes sense
Damn props to her, even the thought of losing 10 million bucks must have been a pain in the ass though
Exactly, the name change was a wise business choice
@@haughsinead yess of course but still 10 mil is alot
@@AB-vu1yl true, also the name controversy was a boon atlast because it got the brand more media coverage and all media is good media when it comes to the Kardashians
Check It Out! For them it’s really not . Between her Instagram sponsored posts , KKW, deal with E,perfumes , and everything else in-between it can be made back incredibly quickly
10M is nothing to Kim. Its like an average person losing 10 bucks.
Clearly the problem is the Kardashians hire too many “yes” people to feed their egos. Even her publicist seemed so fake on the phone to her. Start hiring people who will be critical of your choices.
Nice words
This!!!
they dont hire people >> there are people who hire people
The publicist sounded fake because reality tv is fake... I love this show but reality TV is scripted
Skims is definitely a better name. But I’m really curious why they thought Kimono wouldn’t get any backlash. I mean its obvious that it is part of the japanese culture since forever. Are they really that ignorant though???
Either they did it for a publicity stunt as this is now a storyline on the show or they just genuinely thought they’d be able to get away with it like they get away with the other things they’ve stolen. Everyone knows Kimono is Japanese, including her.
I think is cause supposed to be a play of words her name, Kim + the word Mono (monochromatic) the thing is obviously together it means something else. And to be honest I already knew about how important the garment is for Japanese culture but this made me realize the word itself needs to be respected.
Jessica Dembo you guys are just too dumb and sensitive. Sometimes you just don’t think about things properly all she wanted was a play on her name put into her brand
Thembe Zonde shut up and take your opinion elsewhere. You’re not going to change my opinion.
Jessica Dembo
I didn’t know that the word kimono is Japanese
But to be fair most westerners don’t really know much about any Asian culture
idk kimono sounds like an intentional controversial-viral-marketing decision in their part. tbh.
It seemed intentional from their part..they knew it would cause controversy and get her new brand name out there for the masses.
I agree
@@xredb and now i know about the brand..
I thought the same. It was a publicity stunt
yess2 strategy
So let's pretend that kimono was a mistake and not a publicity stunt to promote the product.
Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a mistake to promote a product seems harder to believe lol..
@@kevn101 Maybe the "mistake" is even cheaper than launching a campaign.
Robert That’s pathetic
@@kevn101 she can lose hundreds thousands in the beginning ..and she will earn millions dollar in the end
😂😂😂😂😂😂you guys are sad, even if any of the kardashian moves one foot y'all be like "publicity stunt"
Last time I was this early, Kourtney was still on the show
Lool
She is still
@@y.m.9402 yeah
well since the last time youve been early u havent been watching cus she is on
Georgia Daly Damn the shade
In the initial part of concept...
Kim: Okay who likes Kimono?
Everyone: Raises their hands
After thebacklash...
Kim: We're changing Kimono to Skims. Who likes Skims?
Everyone: Raises their hands
Tapos papalitan na naman nila yan tapos magrairaise na naman ng kamay 🤕
Takot mawalan ng trabaho kaya oo na lang silang lahat
Skims just sounds so iconic in a sense
Kim Looks so beautiful here
Helena yesssssess
Get ready for comments like ‘plAsTiC’
Helena insanely beautiful 😍 x x
Just waiting for some negative comments...
IU is Stunning let’s hope they don’t come for once
The sad part of this is she actually visited Japan on vacation before even designing the shapewear and yet she still didn't even know what a kimono was...
cam9408 not education she probably thought it was like a dressing gown lmao coz most Americans wear it for that reason
cam9408 she knew. Scandal equals press
Maybe she just didnt see the problem in naming her brand after it? And then when he told her the meaning it has to the Japanese she realised it was a big deal to others.
🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
Honestly. It’s so easy to sit here and judge her because she’s in the public eye but I love how she deals with things when criticised in the public. She’s totally grown on me
This is what happens when you're only surrounded by yes men
no, this is what happens when you pull off a successful publicity stunt and have your product sell out in minutes... just as planned.
Stephanie Nelson you are sooo right👍🏻👏🏻

Didn’t they know what a kimono was?
Vanida Kotimanusvanij they did, but they didn’t really take in consideration the significance of the kimono to some cultures.
Exactly its like calling it burkha ffs. Idiots. Its totally insensitive.
George Kenny so true!
I agree. But I think some people just forget the significance - origins - of the Kimono because its used a lot as a describing word for a certain style of garment. Lots of those silk things you wear over lingerie or those things you wear over your swim suits are called/named kimonos online - even tho they're not. But that being said, the name didn't even go with the products considering most of them were shareware and underwear. The whole things just a miss.
@@sHaRiNgAn1011 not really a miss.. because in her brand "kimono", it is a combination of Kim and mono which stands for monotone and a great play with words, but it seemed to be insensitive. I'm glad that she actually changed it.
As a Japanese I’m so happy Kim changed the name and respected our culture. Love how she understood and was calm about it.
I luv kim's hair when the interviewed. Its looks so natural
As a Japanese, I am really glad that she made that decision and understood how Kimono culture is important for Japanese people. Skims sounds nice. Thank you Kim.
Honestly props to the Japanese mayor who sent her the letter. I don't know if Kim and her team would have recognized the importance of the kimono and changed the name if he hadn't done that.
who else calls and says "heyyy" like kim
Toffee Bee me 🙋🏻♀️
I always end a call saying „ok bye“ 😂
@@lonimolko HAHAHAA THE VIBEE THOO😂😂
Meeeeee ahahah is that weird?
Toffee Bee I found that really odd too 😂 She just said “hey” and then nothing else.
Fyi, people didnt get mad at her for using kimono as her brand name. They got mad because she tried to copyright the name.
What..omg I can't fathom how they could even overlook such a big issue like that
Kim: I really like monosyllable words
Also Kim: KIMONO
Why is being unnecessarily critical such a trend now?
Everything is a fodder for jokes.
And consideration for empathy or understanding has dwindled to nothing..
Maybe that's why people are more selfish. And that reflects in every aspect of life.
She literally just said that she didnt know what the word mean. ??
@@abhishiktachakraborty451underrated comment
I just wonder why not one person who was working with Kim on that project thought that “kimono” was not a good idea? Like... seriously..?
Kim always admits her mistakes very publicly and thats the best part about her nature. She is really mature and sensitive.
I respect her admitting her mistakes so honestly.
Love her in this. Her reaction to the situation was very well addressed and her demeanour is open to criticism, understanding and change.
It’s cool that after years of cultural appropriation they finally respect another culture at least once.
Props to her for changing the name. 👏🏻👏🏻
Damn look how far she’s come. Go Kim and Skims👏🏼
Raise ur hand if u like kimono *everyone 🙋*
Raise ur hand if u like skims *everyone 🙋*
😅
Soumya kibo raise your hands
More like lose ur job if u don't raise ur hand
Im actually truly happy for her that skims is this successful now, she deserves it
Loved how open she was about shape wear & body tape in her ig stories, and how she incorporated it in all of her outfits.
Love or hate her, she's very resilient and hard working
It takes a lot to face your mistakes and change when things are wrong. Kim is such a nice person
it seems like kim's team only says YES. I'm surprised nobody from her team knew what a Kimono is lol but props to Kim for changing it.
Really how could no one have thought of that?
I do have to say I like how calm and un-dramatic this was, like something was brought to hear attention in a respectful way, and the issue was resolved without a battle or the blame game. 👏
These things happen. Although I do hope those other garments that couldn’t be refurbished don’t get wasted and thrown away just because of the brand name
When i heard them talking about "kimono" on ig (i think) before even seeing what it actually was, i legitimately thought of those kimono that Japanese people would wear.
Lol wait. Why do Kim's publicist sound like Kourtney?😂
Srisha S PLOT TWIST: KOURTNEY IS KIM’S PUBLICIST😂
Because they all talk with a vocal fry like idiots
@@anasimpsonn LOLOL
This is why it's very important to have people that would say no and/or correct you.
Skims is doing really great right now.
Skims is waaaaaay better than “Kimono”
Is she always this calm, anyone else would have been screaming at the team
She’s always been a pushover because she’s too nice at times, not a bad thing. I def see her standing up for herself a lot more now.
All you people probably missed the point that probably her ability to be calm in stressful situations is what is enabling her to rake in millions and have many businesses
The3rownie I see that. She also recognised that everyone’s job is important, and you can’t say that about most bosses tbh.
@Robert Mac I dont have to lie to myself about how someone else runs their business.
She's a great business women
"Key-yo-toe"
I just find it funny how she pronounce Kyoto 🤣
i’m happy she understood and didn’t even give a second thought about changing it, she wasn’t being disrespectful she knew exactly what she had done wrong and didn’t make make it a huge deal about it.
This is what I like about kim. She is smart, serious and respectful. She did a right thing by changing the name from kimono to skim. Thank you
Well tbvh the name skims is so cool
The initial name was meant to cause controversy for publicity. She always intended to name her brand skims
as a half Japanese girl i'm glad she responded to the criticism in a mature and understanding way, kim its okay to make mistakes that's what life is about! much love
This is a good lesson that not everything needs to be turned into a "brand" or "commodity."
Respect for culture and people comes first.
This really feels intentional. The 'Kimono' got her brand attention. Skims must have been the first option anyways. Then she went on to be the 'good guy' and made the name change before the release. So her brand had gotten all media attention by then.
wow, someone got that. it was a PR play all along, I can't see it differently.
Thank god it was tho
Yeah I don't buy that all the garments had the kimono name printed on them. I think it was all a ploy
But like Kim could've wasted 10 mil and if it was a PR it will be a risky choice. Idek why im here its literally like a year ago already🤦♀️😂
@@gabriellemartin6540 She's been to Japan, she's worn a kimono, she knows what it is. She's not stupid to use the name of a cultural outfit as the name of her brand.
The media paints her as stupid but she really isn't.
Kimono is a tradition for my country so thank you for respecting that.
She’s so freaking pretty
Greetings from🇳🇱🇳🇱love to kim❤️❤️🥰
I'm glad she changed it but its shocking that the original name got Ok-ed by so many people and got so far into the production process that it took a letter from that man for her to realise. The Kardashians just don't care when it comes to their cultural appropriation. It's a bad name for shapewear let alone the disrespect to a culture.
This video made me love Kim even more.
I like the music plays in the end
Skims is such a better name, why didn’t they think of that first?
Kimono or “Kim oh no”
Her team is so hardworking!!!
Reading that letter kim felt... ‘an uNdersTAnding’
I love how kim handles the problem❣ responsible ceo
well done kim, u did the right thing. skims sounds great! u go girl❤️
she handeled this very well. you can see that she actually educated herself afterwards
Love her work ethic
2:16 the lady in blue jeans has such a beautiful figure.
Milka Undisa I though so too, I also thought she prolly bought it Bt there’s nothing wrong if she did or didn’t!
All those bitches are wearing skims and by sitting on the edge kinda plump that area plus having a good bode
Imagine being on Kim’s team I wouldn’t say no either lmao I would be like yes miss Kim whatever you want don’t destroy me
She looks beautiful ✨
Thank you Kim for doing what’s right
SHE LOOKS AMAZING IN HER INTERVIEW OUTFIT!
Damn, she isnt a one assistant girl anymore, she has a whole office of people for her.
Honesty, gotta love Kim for this 💕
I really cannot believe sometimes how stunning she is.
When I think of skims I think of the skim of the milk when it curdles lol
‘Do you have any feelings?’ 😂
SKIMS is actually a brilliant name for this brand. Good job the creative people who came up with that name 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻
That is why it is very important to think real well before one speaks or does anything.
I feel like KKWear would have sounded better but Skims is good!
I love skims I love KKWear and I lowkey adore Kimbarely (her name is Kimberly) but because u can barely see shape wear that’s witty
But she already have KKW Beauty and KKW fragnance so
KK(K)wear sounds like a company that sells white sheets, if ya know what i mean 🤭
Nahhh I thinks skims is better and more creative, kkw + anything would sound like Kylie products that are kinda boring tbh: Kylie cosmetics, kylieswim, Kylie skin, Kylie baby
She’s 39... she looks amazing. And props to her for respecting the Japanese culture.
39 isn’t 70)))😄😆
Yhh she is 39 and still pretty by doing 39 surgerys 😂❤️
skims sounds great!
Kim is now my fav in all of the kardashian.She's very understanding.
Are you sure?😏

Last time I was this early Shane didn’t have a pallet
SKIMS is the best name 💕
i love how celebs run around like puppets not trying to offend anyoone ,)))
✨ STRATEGIC BACKLASH ✨
You see how hard Kim works? People don't realise the crap she goes through and hard work she does to earn her fortune. Good on her. This is an example of how respectful she is. Good job Kim you are the best.
"I love one syllable names" - names her kid Chicago 😂
Tbh with the staff that diverse I just think that this is outrageous marketing
I think Kim is very beautiful and respectful to everyone.
I LOVE THAT HOW KIM JUST RESPECT OTHERS CULTURE AND IMIDEATLY CHANGE THE NAME KIMONO TO SKIMS
"I've always loved one syllable names, they really roll off the tongue"
**Names daughter Chicago**
And "Kimono" was definitely not one syllable either. 😂
Early squad ❤
Kim’s voice sounds really good here
