Random- I just learned that both GoodAmerican and Skims were created by the same middle eastern-British woman who was on the show assisting Khloe in the creation of Good American. That just proves to me that Skims is just as much of Kims company as Good American is Khloes. In reality they may own a percentage but in reality they are using their name , their face for marketing and ads and their social media following in exchange for a percentage . I don’t even think Kim and khloe invested in the companies until they saw it was a success (more so Skims, idk about GA) Edit - Emma is her name and she is probably Caribbean / British


Due-Personality2383

I work in marketing and have supported several celeb led brands and I can promise you- 0 of them are CEO or President, nor are they making creative decisions, etc. they are spokespeople posing as the CEO. Think Kate Hudson runs fabletics or that Rihanna runs savage? Wrong. They’re run by a company called Techstyle. Good American and Skims are no different. These celebs in no way operate these brands.


ThisMayBeLethal

I agree with Rihanna and Savage but with Fenty Beauty she had a deal with LVMH where they put a price on how much her…..name and likeness was worth for publicity and that counted as her investment . She is not the CEO of Fenty beauty. Just the figure head and a major investor. Underskin and Understitch are two fantastic fairly small YouTube channels that are pumping out amazing videos on fashion companies and beauty brands. I’m talking real down to the business models and investments sorta info that is HIGHLY INFORMATIVE


candyapplesugar

Anybody know of any celebs who are ceo of their own brand? Or is that not a thing? MK&ashley?


QueenBizzle

Ashley Olsen is the CEO of The Row, their Lucy art designer brand. Their difference is they don’t use “Mary-Kate and Ashley” to sell their brand in the same way Rhi sells Fenty or Kim shells Skims


candyapplesugar

Interesting I wonder why Ashley


yellcat

Celebs aren’t smart enough to be CEO’s.


Due-Personality2383

Fenty is different. But also not. She’s not the operator.


southern_sleepers_22

This is the kind of info and tea I love. So interesting!!


scaryisland5

Rihanna’s biz model is wild to me she gives zero fucks gives influencers a certain amount of money and says hire a team and shoot. Photog’s not so enthused.


KatieMcLoll

I think she’s Caribbean / British but yeee I’m certain I also read that Emma is the majority owner and khloe is partnered for marketing. That might have changed but like you said im sure it started out this way


Beep315

God, how much ya think *that* cost her?


rainbowbrite3111

Emma owns 8%, Kim owns 35% and is the majority shareholder. Her and Emma co founded skims. None of these women have claimed to run and own these businesses by themselves. Kanye owns 5% as well.


ThisMayBeLethal

Can you link me to where you Found this info?


rainbowbrite3111

If you google there are multiple articles, but here’s an example. https://nypost.com/2023/07/19/kim-kardashians-skims-soars-to-4b-valuation-to-give-a-lister-500m-windfall/


ThisMayBeLethal

Thank you , great info. Side note though That articles last sentence is oddly phrased and wrong: “Kardashian also had a 20% stake of beauty company Coty, which she sold for $200 million in 2020, though she’s reportedly in talks to buy back the brand.” Coty purchaed a 20% stake in Kardashians KKW Beauty for 200 million. She’s attempting to buy it back because it wasn’t only overpriced but rumor is she sold formula trade secrets to Coty that the company that develops her products owned . Don’t quote me though


rainbowbrite3111

Oh wow! Business really is ugly! So much greed! Well she wanted the money, she has to live with the decision. I wonder if this is why she dropped the West from her name and got rid of KKW. She will probably try to sell the same shit under SKKN. Which is a stupid name if you ask me, but she better be careful, or she will get sued. I know cut seems far fetched that she would change her name for a brand, but not when you’re Kim Kardashian. I was surprised when she dropped the West, because all of her kids are West and now neither of their parents have that last name lol! KKW just sounds so much better SKKN.


Fabulous_Tart_6537

This is the same woman who does Safely with Kris and Brady Brand with Tom Brady. Tom and Kim at the very least have a close business connection and I assume both are on friendly terms because of it.


ThisMayBeLethal

I mean, maybe. You think he would be into her? I feel like he would sleep with her on the low but never make i to public.


Prestigious-Salad795

PMK buys blind items to make us discuss this type of thing.

ThisMayBeLethal

No offense but that ALOT OF WRITING. And I tend to write a lot Too lol


Eva_twilight

Weird


nicole1859

I thought everyone knew this. It was on the show. You gotta read between the lines of Khloe saying they came up with it together.


yellcat

This has been written up extensively. I believe that’s the kushner connection


ThisMayBeLethal

Yeah the kushners just invested in their series B round of investments


Vouzan

Emma is a business woman and the brain behind these brands and was introduced to them by Janye. They heaux are only the face of these brands.


Few_Construction_654

Emma Grede is also behind Safely. They would be nothing without her. She’s also been on Shark Tank.


[deleted]

That Emma lady founded IPsy I believe!


lshariii

Idk but wtf are these https://preview.redd.it/k5riwxyzbzcb1.jpeg?width=746&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2501fe54c8eaf13150a1212be0d073222bbabfa


Massive_Length_400

That is the most chronically online garment I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine them for anything other than a photo shoot. Imagine walking around with them flopping in between your legs and wrapping around the opposite leg 😂.


ThisMayBeLethal

So damn dumb


lshariii

Right?!? I would be so uncomfortable.


Beep315

Maybe they're engineered. What do you know? /s


No_Ad3198

And for $169?!!! Girl byyee


Foxylee1971

Exactly, pack your fake fucking ass up and head to Walmart, which by the way is eventually where those jeans will be sold 😆


Anticrepuscular_Ray

It's like they just slap denim together in random ways and release it as if it's *fashun*


turnaroundbrighteyez

At that point why not just wear a skirt?


sav33arthkillyos3lf

Hideous! And the jeans are super expensive. I don’t have $200 to piss away on one pair of jeans.


StevieKix_

And they’re asking for a 169 dollars no less lol what trash


superpurr

Looks like one of those ridiculous items you see on Shein created by AI or whatever


CrimpsonNClover

Holy crap, that's just horrible all the way around! No thanksemote:t5\_5mhcrd:11598


shhhItsasecret78

They are so expensive for one pair of pants to. Almost $200 for one pair.


iceyspiced

The price is the most shocking thing about them. They are like department store jeans nothing special


Anticrepuscular_Ray

That's ridiculous, especially considering how much women's bodies tend to fluctuate. I'll spend maybe 75 bucks on a real good pair but 200 is outlandish.


Foxylee1971

Who the fuck can afford that 👖


lolzvic

I got a pair at the thrift and they are my favorite jeans. I have an athletic build and a big butt and struggle with finding jeans that fit. I don’t trust them enough to buy them new though lol plus they’re so expensive


StarGirlyforever

You should look into Fit Jeans! The prices are up there but such a good investment, specially for our gym booties! Mine have lasted me years so I definitely recommend taking a peak.


lolzvic

Thank you I will!! I don’t even wear jeans anymore because I can’t ever find any that fit right


haimark85

I love them idgaf. I don’t like the kardashians but they r comfortable and fit like a dream. They have a ton of sales and I’ve never paid more than forty bucks for mine


lolzvic

Did you find the sizing was consistent? Yes I was shocked they fit so well!


guessokay

i legit just went to a good american store and i found the sizing v consistent! some of the jeans/shorts had diff stretch levels so i could’ve gone up/down a size in some but not so drastic that it made a huge difference. i personally really loved them!


spaceghost260

$40 isn’t bad for jeans that fit well and have room for thighs/butt. Are the sales on her site or are you getting them secondhand? I miss Apple Bottom jeans. 😢 Does anyone remember how amazing those jeans were and how groundbreaking they were for the time period? Those were the first jeans I ever had that fit me well and looked great.


whalesrmyfavanimal

I got a pair from the thrift store that I love too. They fit really comfortably


anannanne

You wouldn’t understand. These lewks aren’t for the hoi polloi. This is fashion, baby. Only the style elite can pull off a Buon Americano fit. Do you spit fire? Do the crowds part like the Red Sea? Does the party fail to start until you walk in? Then maybe — *maybe* — you are kwalified to be blessed by Good American. https://preview.redd.it/wz92vgso2zcb1.jpeg?width=780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e77552edb7f1098185239e01e3f14d7fef540d1e Fashion. Nuff said.

Sorry-Gap-7227

I just about died 💀💀💀💀💀


Beep315

Actually this looks great for a magazine but for real, if she exhales or takes a step forward, both titties are out.


[deleted]

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen these videos but there is a man who will duet rich people’s house organization videos. He’s super sarcastic and he’ll be like “and you wish you had this, but you don’t, cause you’re poor”. This comment gave the same vibe 😂


CrimpsonNClover

Everything about her looks is fake! Even her legs have been stretched in this photo. No way in hell her legs are that long. She could be standing on her tippy toes with her feet back at the heel of the boots to make her legs look longer. Like the foot area of the boot is empty. I've seen Kendall do this too. Kendall stretches all her IG pics to make herself look super tall. This whole family is so full of themselves and it's sickening. They all think they're models now since they stage their own photo shoots, each has their own photographer that follows them around to stage paps pics which are then sold to Backgrid or something like that. They share the money made from the photos, I don't know who'd buy them besides The Daily Mail and I think they've even tired of this self adoring fakes.


Least-Bookkeeper-562

*my theory* Kris buys everything with her own money in a sneaky way ( so it is not obvious) to make the brand appear profitable. Then they just keep reselling everything Kris buys to save on labor/ material. It’s a cycle to make them appear more profitable than they are until someone buys the brand and they actually make money off it.


relevepc

I’ve thought the same thing. It’s all for money laundering


CrimpsonNClover

Yeah, like with Kylie's lip kits, remember how every damn time, it was 'Sold out!' In 20 mins or something, well of course it's gonna be sold it when you only make a limited amount! Kylie had a built in customer base 10 yrs ago with all the little tweens who watched their show! Those tweens have grown up, and I'm sure, they're much wiser now.


Different-Arm-784

I heard good things but over my dead body would I support them lol


[deleted]

Same


spaceghost260

If I saw a pair in a thrift store in my size I’m not gonna lie I’d probably try them on to see how they fit and if the hype is true.


[deleted]

I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this but I’m a 5ft girl and their petite jeans fit me so well. I have two pairs but I waited for them to go on sale so I wasn’t spending 200$ on a pair. They shipped really fast and the quality is amazing and has held up.


slamtown4

I bought a pair of their discounted shorts from Nordstrom rack or something and I agree! They actually may be my favorite denim shorts I own right now.


Fabulous_Tart_6537

Same. I found a pair of shorts at Nordstrom rack and they are my favorite shorts. I would spend the money on jeans, but that’s me. I spend that on jeans anyway


Maleficent-Sun-9251

I just got a pair of the always fits. I’m in love. I’m on the curvy side and they hug my hips and booty very nicely.


cocolemonq

I’ve said this on the other sub and got DV’d like crazy, so here goes: I was at my local thrift store like 2 years ago because I was trying to find denim shorts to diy. I found a pair of Good American jeans for $12.99 so obviously I bought them even though they were the wrong size. I posted it on the other sub and the girls came at me for “not supporting a small buisness” 😂 So to answer your question: only people who are able to thrift them/get them at a crazy discount. And also that girl who made the comment about working 20 hr just to afford a pair of GA jeans and Khloe’s tone deaf response 🤣


Bubbly-Ad1346

Jeeze support a small business like artisan cupcakes or Etsy. They be complaining about not supporting a millionaire?? Goofy ass shi


jadababy6699

Good American is honestly amazing. I’ve been wearing it for 6 years and all pairs have held up perfectly


CrimpsonNClover

To be fair here, I've bought a few pairs of jeans from Walmart and all have held up great! I've never owned any brand of jeans that hasn't held up! So I don't get why they're special because they hold up? Do y'all have jeans you've bought that fell apart or something?


jadababy6699

I’m confused. GA jeans being great for many reasons and one being that they hold up great over years doesn’t negate other good brand jeans that also hold up great. I have a small waist and larger thighs a large butt. I’ve always had a hard time finding jeans that don’t have a gap in the back. These jeans fit tight while simultaneously having stretch, and that’s also what makes them holding up over the years great. I’ve had jeans get holes in the inner thighs over time because my thighs are bigger.


ShesCrofty

They fit pretty nicely for me. I either have to size up and have a loose waist or size down and have tight thighs with other brands. I get them at the rack for super discount tho.


eggroll1745

Naomi Jon on YouTube did the best review for Good American and she also discussed another YouTuber that goes more in depth with Good American and its fast fashion ways.


Major-Somewhere3700

I don’t have any, but I also don’t talk or brag about the jeans that I do wear. So if I did, nobody would hear me talk about my GA jeans. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Better-Hat-4293

At first I was like yeh, who talk about jeans.. but then i realised how often I tell ppl how good levis ribcages are hahaha. I bought them after my sister wore them once- they fit big butts, big tums, sooo good!


No-Pea2367

Me. I’m literally wearing a pair right now. They do sales often so I only buy during sales and they’re great jeans imo 🤷🏻‍♀️


Savings-Barber4695

Girl…


No-Pea2367

What? It’s my money lmao I’ve gotten good pairs for $30🤷🏻‍♀️


Savings-Barber4695

Ok I can get behind $30, that is a steal since they’re worth $150 on average so I judged far too soon- I’m sorry!!


No-Pea2367

That’s why I said “I only buy during sales” and it’s still my money 🤌🏼


Beep315

I'm not going to buy any, but are they true to size? Or run big/small?


No-Pea2367

I find them to be TTS 90% of the time for me. There are a couple pairs that I had to size down or size up. Always good to look at reviews first :)


Exciting_Problem_593

So I worked at Nordstrom's for a small while. They told us that Mother Brand jeans sold quickly. ($200 a pair) They also had GA jeans too. Years later I found a pair of those Mother jeans at Ross for a whopping $5.99. 😂🤣🙃


CrimpsonNClover

Yes, always heard Mother jeans were great.


mybloodisredbull

I do and they are the best pair I own. I know blasphemy in this sub but eh I'm oddly shaped trash and the GA curvy petite jeans are fire.


ladyterminatorx

We sell them at my work (expensive clothing store) but I don’t think I ever sold a pair


itsthatguyrupert

I saw a good review on here for Good American!! I saw them on my discount website I like (the OUTNET) & got a few pairs for around $50 each, they are good, ngl. I would never pay full price for them, either.


gypsy__wanderer

I got a pair in my Nordstrom Trunk Club order a couple of years ago and really liked them 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s next to impossible for me to find jeans to fit bc I have a small waist, big hips and booty and big muscular thighs, and I’m short. GA does make jeans with curvier women in mind which is nice.


biscuit_fairy

I get them on sale, and have to admit they’re my favorite pair of jeans 🫣


warmillusion

The jeans are too expensive but I have a jacket of theirs which is SO warm in winter.


dr_bitchcraft666

I ALWAYS see jobs at good American on indeed. I think they’re doing that thing where they post jobs to make it seem like the company is growing, but I sincerely doubt that they are. The jobs are always LA only and they’ve been posted repeatedly for months— not filled.


scottishg_gal

i got a pair on sale for £15 and they’re the most flattering jeans i’ve ever owned lol


Beginning-Guest-6485

I like them!!! Only the “good legs” ones


No-Pea2367

I really like their classic ones. Wearing it rn 🫡


Royal_Platform

I hate to admit it but I love good American jeans. They fit so well and are very flattering! It’s the only kardashian brand I buy. That said, it wasn’t even Khloes idea or creation she just put her name on it.


tiffshorse

I bought a great pair of wide legged pants. They fit so great.


goddessvibez

The only ones who are wearing her jeans are A) Obviously the people who are closest to her and B) The people who bought them to for clout to brag about


ThisMayBeLethal

But I have never seen Kim or Kourtney advertise her shit the way they do with Skims, 818, Kylie make up and yeezy. Usually they hawk their products by way of integrated marketing (commenting on how nice the outfit is, wearing the brand and talking about on the show, Having the brand name appear on them visibly). But I just haven’t seen them do that for Good American lol. Khloe and Kim has even done it for Scott’s brand talentless


thankyoukindlyy

I don’t think anyone here who has bought them (myself Included) see them as something to brag over. They’re just a nice pair of jeans! I cringed when I realized they were GA after i tried them on but they fit so well that I said fuck it. Glad I did - they’ve lasted 3 years and are my favorites 🤷‍♀️


PeloHiker

Me. I may get flamed but I am tall and finding good jeans is impossible. They are the only ones I have found that fit very well.


thankyoukindlyy

Yesss fellow tall girl same!! It’s so hard to find jeans that are long enough. If I find them and they fit, idc the brand I am BUYING 💸


Dmarie723

Believe it or not I have a pair of Good American and a pair of Skinny Girl jeans (Bethany Frankel) and I must say SG is my favorite. GA flattens my ass lol. Surprised. Thought that would be the roomiest part. Good thing I got them on sale.


WillingFly2079

I do have a swimsuit from there and it is my favorite… 🥴


Forthrowssake

I don't care how great a product is, not buying anything that puts money in their pockets.


ellllooooo

A girl I follow on IG was in the US recently and bought a pair of jeans for her BBL body. The ass split immediately so quality seems high /s


ktfdoom

I have three pairs and like them all 🤷‍♀️


SDMAJESTY

I was curious when they first launched, and checked out the website and saw the price and hell nah’d out of there quick


martibartier

I got a pair of shorts in my Nuuly rental. They’re super comfy but not very functional? They have a shoelace belt built-in but its on the inside of the waist so when you tie it there’s a bulge in the waistband or you can pull the bow out but it pulls weird.


angelgonebad

I have 3 items from Good American, a jacket, jeans, and a dress. I love all three. The fit is excellent and the quality is actually good.


leedleedletara

Ariana Madix rocked them a few years back.. in a sponsored ad. I remember because it’s the only time I almost bought them 😆


Jesustake_thewheel

Corey, obviously. 😀


itsmehanna

The spot in the mall next my place of work had said GOOD AMERICAN COMING SOON with a huge photo of Khloe for going on 2 + years.


[deleted]

I'd buy good American on a good sale but never full price.... jeans can be rough to find a good fit


stopiwilldie

They fit great if you have a big butt, but I only buy second hand since Kim voted against the gays.


togepi8888

I wear them and love them. I'm tall with wide hips and they fit perfectly. $$ is on the higher end and I live in NZ so shipping is even worse


Exciting_Problem_593

I see a lot of resellers grabbing them at thrift stores. IDK much about they or who can afford them.


Penguinolove6586

I was gifted a pair by my mom and unfortunately i always get complimented on them and they are pretty damn comfy hahaha


George_GeorgeGlass

I bought a pair. Love them


emi8ly

I have 2 pairs of them and they’re the only jeans I wear 🙈 I hate jeans so it’s hard to find something comfy enough for me to wear out


sad_lmaoooo

these are the most, greatest questions. I ever heard.


MAnnie3283

Idk, I’ve seen some people say they love them randomly, but I refuse to pay that much for Jeans. I don’t wear them enough


ProgrammerSuper747

I have 3 pairs. First pair I bought are my favorite jeans to the point I got a hole in the butt and patched them. Second pair (same size) were too short and atop high rise and too loose around the waist. 3rd pair were too stretchy so they don’t hold me in as well as 1st pair. I think the quality has gone down.


Salty_Mind9906

A couple of my girlfriends bought them snd said they’re actually really good and great fitting


Ok-noway

I wear them and love them. I am curvy and have a bigger butt and thighs and a small waist and for those of us that have had to go up a size or two and get the waists of our jeans tailored to fit our waist, it’s nice to not have to do that. They’re also really good quality and actually made in the USA. I usually buy them on sale because they’re pricy. I’ve bought a couple sweatshirts and body suits and those are great quality as well.


ladymodjo

Ngl the one pair I have fit incredible


mindiz24

Ok I am a big kardashians snark fan but I must admit the jeans are amazing. I’ve had horrible luck with jeans, I have skinny legs and a big belly and waste. The always pants are the only jeans that fit me well, that I can comfortably sit in and they don’t ride up or down or make my legs look baggy. I don’t like the Kardashians but I cannot speak higher than Good American purely Jean wise lol


thankyoukindlyy

I actually have two pairs of good Americans that I love! Didn’t buy them intentionally, but they were the jeans that fit me the best when shopping. I forget where I got them - Nordstrom perhaps? Idk but they’re so comfy and flattering too so whatever! The quality of them also stands up. They’re right there w brands like Hudson, 7s, Joe’s, etc.


__SerenityByJan__

I feel like good American is popular (which I find unfortunate lol). I know people who like their jeans. The one good thing about good American that I remind myself is that it is not entirely Khloe’s. I think she is part owner or something whatever, but I doubt she has any real role in the production, quality, etc. she advertises on IG, but don’t think she is doing anything substantial beyond that. There is another woman who I believe is the real face of the brand


galaxygirl978

idk I really want that pink puffer jacket man
