Kim Kardashian West is being accused of cultural appropriation — again — this time, for the name of her new shapewear line, Kimono.
"Kimono is my take on shapewear and solutions for women that actually work," Kardashian West wrote.
“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," she wrote. "Nice underwear, but as a Japanese woman who loves to wear our traditional dress, kimono, I find the naming of your products baffling , if not outright culturally offensive, especially if it’s merely a word play on your name. Pls reconsider," oneKardashian West was also criticized for not using any plus-size models in her images, despite the shapewear being offered in sizes XXS to 4XL.
She was slammed in June 2018 for wearing Fulani braids, which are believed to have originated in African regions, and crediting them to a white woman by describing them as Bo Derek braids. The small braided cornrows have been worn by women of color, in particular those of African descent, long prior to Derek in the 1979 film"10."
