<p>Kim Kardashian's much-discussed shape-wear line has a new name. After facing severe backlash for naming it 'Kimono', Kim has decided to rename the line as 'SKIMS Solutionwear'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The mother of four was accused of cultural appropriation for naming her shape-wear line after the Japanese garment.<br />
<br />
Kim, on Instagram, revealed the new name - `SKIMS Solutionwear`."My fans and followers are a huge inspiration to me - I`m always listening to their feedback and opinions, and am so grateful they shared their ideas for a new brand name. After much thought and consideration, I`m excited to announce the launch of SKIMS Solutionwear," she wrote.<br />
<br />
Explaining the new moniker, the 38-year-old star said, "I love the idea that the pieces will be the closest thing to someone`s skin, skimming with amazingly soft and supportive fabrics which accentuate the best parts of our bodies."<br />
<br />
Kardashian concluded her post by encouraging fans to "#ShowYourSKIMS."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The collection will be available on September 10 and will range in sizes from XXS to 5XL. In June, the star announced the upcoming shape-wear line with the name `Kimono`, which quickly received flak with claims that she culturally appropriated the term for a traditional Japanese garment. She also received criticism for "disrespecting" the Japanese culture.</p>

Kim Kardashian's much-discussed shape-wear line has a new name. After facing severe backlash for naming it 'Kimono', Kim has decided to rename the line as 'SKIMS Solutionwear'. The mother of four was accused of cultural appropriation for naming her shape-wear line after the Japanese garment. Kim, on Instagram, revealed the new name - `SKIMS Solutionwear`."My fans and followers are a huge inspiration to me - I`m always listening to their feedback and opinions, and am so grateful they shared their ideas for a new brand name. After much thought and consideration, I`m excited to announce the launch of SKIMS Solutionwear," she wrote. Explaining the new moniker, the 38-year-old star said, "I love the idea that the pieces will be the closest thing to someone`s skin, skimming with amazingly soft and supportive fabrics which accentuate the best parts of our bodies." Kardashian concluded her post by encouraging fans to "#ShowYourSKIMS." The collection will be available on September 10 and will range in sizes from XXS to 5XL. In June, the star announced the upcoming shape-wear line with the name `Kimono`, which quickly received flak with claims that she culturally appropriated the term for a traditional Japanese garment. She also received criticism for "disrespecting" the Japanese culture.

Kim Kardashian announces new name of shape-wear line after being accused of cultural appropriation

<p>Forced to change the name of her clothing line 'Kimono' after being accused of cultural appropriation, Kim Kardashian shared with fans that close to 2 million garments of the shapewear line have been produced and the reality star is now in the process of covering up their tags.<br />
<br />
Kim, however, is yet to reveal the new name for her range.<br />
<br />
Earlier in June, the makeup mogul had shared the name of her new line <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kim-kardashians-shapewear-label-kimono-sparks-outrage-japanese-women-find-it-offensive-230788">triggering backlash</a> suggesting that she disrespected Japanese culture.<br />
<br />
Kim addressed the criticism stating that she respects the country`s culture and had no intention to dishonour the traditional garment. Later, in a statement, she announced that her line will <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kim-kardashian-to-drop-kimono-name-from-shapewear-after-objections-232178">no longer be called Kimono.</a><br />
<br />
Weeks after the controversy, she on Friday shared a video clip on Twitter and revealed that there are nearly two million garments printed with the Kimono logo and being eco-friendly she`s figuring out ways to re-label without having to dump all the pieces.</p>

<p>"Because I wanted everything to be really seamless and feel really good, we printed everything inside all of the garments. So now I have to come up with a solution and not be wasteful because we have printed almost two million garments so far with the Kimono name," the star said in the video clip.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kim added, "I do like this one," Kim said of one option, where a small piece of fabric covered up the Kimono print. "That does look like a nice tag."</p>

Kim Kardashian is now re-labelling 2 million garments with 'Kimono' logo

<p>Italian designer Pierpaolo Piccioli went for an explosion of bold colours at Valentino's Haute Couture collection, switching from mustard yellow to fuchsia to azure with supermodel Gigi Hadid walking in purple.</p>

<p>Clashing textures with silks, woollen fringes and pom poms also gave the outfits a subtle complexity. Some models wore ornate beaded hats in the style of traditional tribal headpieces.</p>

<p>American actress Gwyneth Paltrow and models Heidi Klum and Naomi Campbell figured among the stars on the front row at the Paris runway show late on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Hadid sported a kimono-inspired lilac gown, complete with gemstone-encrusted white, jade and orange embroidery and a colossal bow resting askew on her shoulders.</p>

<p>Piccioli has been Valentino's sole creative director since 2016 but has been with the label since 1999. His bouffant dresses and vibrant use of colour have garnered the brand fresh acclaim after founder Valentino Garavani retired in 2007.</p>

<p>One surprise on the runway came in a green dress and glittering trench coat, as 75-year-old model Lauren Hutton wowed the crowd in four-inch mustard heels and sparkling fuchsia gloves.</p>

<p>The fashion house said in a note that the collection aimed to celebrate individuality, diversity and inclusivity.</p>

<p>After the finale, Piccioli walked the runway hand-in-hand with the team of women and seamstresses who crafted the intricate pieces.</p>

<p>The label's Qatari owners, investment vehicle Mayhoola, had examined plans to list Valentino on Milan's stock market, sources told Reuters in late 2017, although the company has been evasive about such plans since.</p>

<p>The show wrapped up this season's Couture Fashion Week, where an elite club of top-end designers show off elaborate, hand-made creations.</p>

<p>Japan is to send patent officials to the United States to discuss the flap over Kim Kardashian’s Kimono brand underwear, the trade minister said on Tuesday.</p>

<p>The reality TV star and businesswoman said on Monday she would <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kim-kardashian-to-drop-kimono-name-from-shapewear-after-objections-232178">rename her Kimono shapewear line</a> after people in Japan said her <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kim-kardashians-shapewear-label-kimono-sparks-outrage-japanese-women-find-it-offensive-230788">use of the term was disrespectful.</a></p>

<p>Trade Minister Hiroshige Seko said he was aware of Kardashian's decision but still wanted there to be "a careful examination" of the matter.</p>

<p>"This has become a big deal on social media," Seko said during a regular press conference in Tokyo, adding that trademark issues fell under his jurisdiction.</p>

<p>"The kimono is regarded around the world as a distinct part of our culture," he said. "Even in America, kimono is well known to be Japanese."</p>

<p>Kardashian said that she had announced the Kimono products in June "with the best intentions in mind" and that she appreciated the feedback she had received.</p>

<p>"My brands and products are built with inclusivity and diversity at their core and after careful thought and consideration, I will be launching my Solutionwear brand under a new name," she wrote on Twitter.</p>

<p>In Japanese, kimono means "thing that's worn" and refers to full-length robes with sashes donned for formal occasions such as weddings and funerals. Kardashian's use of the word on undergarments and filing for a trademark annoyed many people.</p>

<p>"Kimono is not underwear! Stop trademark registration! Don't make the word kimono yours!" Twitter user Ruu wrote shortly after the launch announcement, echoing a common theme.</p>

<p>Others said using the word was "a theft of traditional culture" and begged Kardashian to change the name, saying the underwear would sell just as well if it was called something else.</p>

<p>Seko said that he was sending Japanese patent executives to the US Patent and Trademark Office on July 9 to "properly exchange views on the matter", adding that he would be following the situation close</p>
