In 2019, as Kardashian set out to start her own shapewear line, she was accused of culturally appropriating the term \u201ckimono\u201d for her brand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/lifestyle\/kim-kardashian-backlash-kimono-shapewear\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> at the time, \u201cKimono, which means \u2018thing to wear\u2019 in Japanese, is a type of traditional outfit worn in Japan, featuring wide sleeves on a long, loose robe that is that bound by a sash.
