Kim Kardashian recently enlisted some supermodel power for her SKIMS campaign including Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel.

Ahead of the shoot, Kardashian and Banks sat down for a “heart to heart.” “I’ve known Tyra for a really long time,” Kardashian told “Today With Hoda And Jenna”. “I just have so much respect for her, so we just had an honest, heart-to-heart conversation, and she got to hear about what the brand stands for, why I started the brand and just all about supporting women,” Kardashian explained.
