Alice Marie Johnson Featured In Kim Kardashian’s First SKIMS Campaign

After an initial messy roll out, Kim Kardashian‘s renamed shapewear line is back in business and ready to roll. Now called SKIMS Solutionwear, Kim choose a very unique approach for the brand’s debut campaign.

Bringing her entrepreneurial efforts together with her focus on prison reform, Kardashian tapped Alice Marie Johnson as the star of SKIMS’ first campaign. After serving 21 year in prison for a first-time, non-violent drug arrest, Johnson was pardoned by Donald Trump in June 2018 in response to advocacy efforts by Kardashian.

The SKIMS campaign features Alice talking about the importance of freedom and how the shapewear is an extension to helping her feel confidence and of course, free.

The Memphis-born Johnson, who’s wearing a SKIMS bodysuit, opens the video by explaining her prison sentence and having Kardashian advocate for her, noting that at the time she wasn’t aware who Kardashian was. Johnson explained, “I was set free on June the 6, 2018. So now ever moment is precious to me. Waking up and not having a bunk bed over my head is precious to me.”

Reflecting on SKIMS, Johnson states, “I can walk into a store and pick up something I wouldn’t even normally think about wearing and I can put it on and it’s going to look great on me.”

And while yes, it’s obviously a stretch to compare a prison sentence and shapewear, the bigger picture is that the story of Johnson’s grossly unfair sentence is further amplified and she also (we assume) gets a check. Win win.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
