GQ Announced Men of the Year 2023 — Users Confused by 'Definitely Weird' Choice

• Kim Kardashian turned Skims, her underwear brand, into a fashion empire.
• Kim was recently recognized and awarded due to her fashion success.
• However, fans are shocked to see that a woman was bestowed this award and recognition.

Kim Kardashian came to fame by unconventional means, but she has stood the test of time and made a name for herself. Kim admitted that at first, she didn't know what she was doing and was just winging her career.

For a long time, Kim was only a model, media personality, and socialite who would do licensing deals with several different companies that contradicted themselves. The socialite then wore the entrepreneurial hat.

Still, some of the businesses she started didn't pick up, such as perfume, jewelry, and beauty lines. When the model finally launched Skims, and it proved worthwhile, Kim felt that she had finally found her space.

The media personality's most successful venture started by offering underwear and shapewear but has grown into selling dresses, tees, loungewear, and swimwear. Skims, which was founded in 2019, made $500 million in 2022.

Kim said Skims had exceeded everything she had ever imagined and that she hoped it would do even better in the years to come. CEO Jens Grede co-founded the company with his wife, Emma, and Kim. The socialite, who has put her own money into Skims and is the biggest shareholder, still feels imposter syndrome despite how successful the company has been.

Kim feels like she doesn't belong in the industry like other big fashion names because imposter syndrome makes her doubt herself and consider herself a fraud. Still, she says this feeling is part of what makes her keep going with her work.

Online users who saw the news were astonished that a female had been awarded and recognized.

Skims has dropped noteworthy offers in 2023, including the introduction of Skims men's underwear and a radiating Marilyn Monroe-inspired dress. The dress, made in collaboration with Swarovski, features a design that resembles Kim's 2022 Met Gala attire.

On venturing into men's wear, Kim said men have similar insecurities as women as much as they don't speak about them. Skims men's line now has a range of wear, including tanks, tees, and leggings.

Kim's work ethic has seen her succeed and bring a big fashion change that is widely acclaimed. The media personality was named one of GQ's men of the year in 2023 due to Skims men's collection and how she was able to turn her underwear brand into a fashion empire.

Kim is also part of the names that feature GQ's 2023 Men of the Year. She has been given this recognition and award because she built her underwear clothesline into a fashion empire. Online users who saw the news were astonished that a female had been awarded and recognized in the Men of the Year edition.

Their users expressed their opinions when Kim shared the issue of GQ on her Instagram, which had her picture as the cover image. "Help me understand why she is on the cover of a Men of the Year edition? 😮" a shocked user questioned. Another user commented, "Definitely weird…like cmon there's tons of qualified men to be on the cover."
