By Jacqueline Laurean Yates

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."

"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™ coming September 10," she continued.

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™ coming September 10. 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. Available in sizes XXS - 5XL, SKIMS Solutionwear™ is for every body. SKIMS.COM. #ShowYourSKIMS Photo: #VanessaBeecroft
