At this point we’re 99.9 per cent positive that Kim Kardashian West never sleeps. Case in point: the reality TV star-turned-entrepreneur released not one, but two new collections for her intimates brand SKIMS this week. The first was the Cozy collection, followed by the Sleep collection. The latter marked the brand’s first sleepwear collection. To coincide with both launches, Kim released a series of videos on the brand’s Instagram page where women (decked out in the new pieces) shared their own personal stories of tragedy and triumph.
