.KimKardashian features former inmate Alison Marie Johnson, who she helped gain clemency, in new campaign for skims:
Author:Whitney BauckPublish date:Aug 29, 2019It was just earlier this week that Kim Kardashian West announced the updated name of her shapewear line, Skims . Since then, she's been rolling out new imagery for the brand online — and on Thursday, she dropped the most interesting bit of content yet.
Johnson, who was serving a life plus 25-year sentence without possibility of parole for a non-violent, first-time drug offense, has come to serve as something of a symbol of the need for American prison reform. In the Skims video, she shares a bit of her story and describes Kardashian West as her "war angel" because of the role she played in Johnson gaining her freedom.
She then goes on to say, "this shapewear makes me feel that I could walk into the store, I could pick up something that I normally wouldn't even think about wearing, and I could put it on, and it's going to feel great on me. This shapewear makes me feel free."
