SKIMS' Nipple Piercing Bra Sparks Cultural Appropriation Debate in Ireland A recent video posted on social media has ignited a debate about cultural appropriation in the fashion industry. The video features a young woman from Ireland expressing her outrage over SKIMS, a brand owned by Kim Kardashian, releasing a bra designed with nipple piercings.
