KIM KARDASHIAN
Raising four kids – North, 6, Saint, 3, Chicago, 20 months, and Psalm, 4 months – with husband Kanye West hasn’t slowed down the reality star, 38, who’s launching shapewear brand Skims while apprenticing at a law firm.
What inspired Skims?
I feel like I’ve been designing shapewear for 15 years. I’d bring scissors, a needle and thread when I travelled to cut and sew pieces into my own. I used teabags to dye them a deeper colour because there was only one standard nude. I wanted something that would smooth my shape but not necessarily change it. I do have cellulite. But I try to be easy on myself, because you’re never going to be perfect. What do your sisters think of it?
They love it, which makes me so proud since they’re all different shapes and sizes.
How’s being a mum of four?
It’s exhausting! Everyone loves Psalm, and everyone is helpful. He looks a little bit like Chi and a little bit like Saint, but he’s changing. How do you relax?
I got into CBD [cannabidiol, a legal compound found in the cannabis plant] a few months ago. I’m not a weed smoker at all, but I love CBD. It’s gotten me through a lot.
You’re studying for the bar exam in 2022. Why go into law?
My dad [lawyer Robert Kardashian] said [being a lawyer] was way too stressful as a full-time job, so I’d really have to think about it. When he worked on the O.J. Simpson case, I looked through the evidence books. [My sister] Kourtney would always yell at me, like, “Get out of his stuff! Why do you care?” I learned a lot from him telling me about it. Now I want to become a lawyer to help people who can’t really help themselves.
