Kim Kardashian hires Alice Johnson, Woman she helped out of Prison to Model her Skims Solutionwear

A year after Kim Kardashian West helped free Alice Johnson from prison, the Skims Solutionwear creator tapped the great-grandmother to star in her shapewear brand's debut campaign.



Kim Kardashian West helped free Alice Marie Johnson after 21 years in prison for a nonviolent drug offense last year, but their relationship didn’t end there.

Since then, Kardashian West, 38, has maintained a special relationship with the 64-year-old great-grandmother, welcoming Johnson’s family over for a home cooked meal in Calabasas and even writing the foreward to Johnson’s memoir, After Life: My Journey from Incarceration to Freedom.

Now, Kardashian West recruited Johnson to help her with another exciting project: the launch of her inclusive solution-focused shapewear brand, SKIMS Solutionwear.

To kick off SKIMS’ campaign featuring real women, Kardashian West asked Johnson to star in a moving video as she modeled the black sculpting bodysuit.
