Banks also revealed how Kardashian convinced her to pose for SKIMS.
“[Kim] said when I was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, she hadn’t seen boobs that were real and big,” she recalled. “She said that that gave her self-esteem for her body. So we had, like, a serious conversation, and I finally said, ‘Let’s do this!’”
Kardashian added, “We just had an honest heart-to-heart conversation, and she got to hear what the brand stands for, why I started the brand — and I’m just all about supporting women.”
