She's been criticized for appropriating the traditional Japanese garment.
explaining that her choice to play on the word"kimono" wasn't intended as cultural disrespect. She said she didn't intend to"design or release any garments that would in any way resemble or dishonor the traditional garment," but noted that the name was a nod to"the beauty and detail that goes into" Japanese kimonos.
Kim Kardashian West on Instagram: “Being an entrepreneur and my own boss has been one of the most rewarding challenges I’ve been blessed with in my life. What’s made it…” This clearly wasn't enough of an apology for Kardashian's haters, so she's taking the next step. On Instagram this morning she wrote that the name"Kimono" had been announced"with the best intentions in mind," but after"careful thought and consideration, I will be launching my Solutionwear brand under a new name," TBA"soon." She thanked followers for their support.
Perhaps what pushed Kardashian over the line was receiving feedback from the mayor of Kyoto, Kadokawa Daisaku. Daisaku wrote an open letter, posted on Facebook over the weekend, urging her to reconsider the choice.
."Also, it is a fruit of craftsmanship and truly symbolizes sense of beauty, spirits and values of Japanese."
