Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand newly introduced the SKIMS Adaptive collection to address a gap in the accessibility market. This new collection was made for those with limited mobility and it helps to make the popular brand more accessible to a wider range of body types and sizes. Made for comfort and ease of use, the designs make the most of ultra-lightweight micro bonded technology so that the closures sit seamlessly, rather than add bulk under clothing, as velcro and zippers sometimes do.
For the launch of the adaptive collection SKIMs, worked with American Paralympic track and field athlete Scout Bassett. This collection introduces four of the brand’s signature styles (a bralette, boy shorts, thong and briefs) in neutral colors and sizes ranging from XXS to 4X.
