According to Forbes, Kim Kardashian is worth 1.8 billion. She is known for ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’, KKW Beauty and shapewear brand SKIMS. Since 2019, Kardashian has earned approximately $375 million from Skims. Meanwhile, according to Remake, the artisans in Bangladesh who make the garments earn $96.00 per month. In a recent Variety interview, Kardashian said “I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f—— ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”
It’s time Skims “gets its ass up” and becomes transparent about how, where, and by whom its items are produced, including the materials used. Transparency is crucial to ethical and sustainable fashion. You have the power to choose the world you want to live in with your wallet; Saltysea, WE-AR, Zeenya Clothing, Sooti and Boody are great, ethical alternatives.
