Kim Kardashian West announced SKIMS as the new name of her shapewear line.

West initially announced her line would be called Kimono Solutionwear, but was called out for cultural appropriation. She later announced the name would be changing.

On Monday, she posted an Instagram photo of models in SKIMs shapewear and said in her caption, "My fans and followers are a huge inspiration to me."

Many fans are excited about the name change and applauded West's efforts to make it better.

Model Ashley Graham cheered the announcement on saying, "YES YES YES! I can’t wait to try this! ESP the one legged shaper! Congrats power house!"
