Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reality TV star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian visited a class at Harvard Business School on Friday. She delivered a two-hour seminar on direct-to-consumer marketing alongside her SKIMS co-founder Jens Grede. They spoke for about an hour and 45 minutes, and as Kim said: “Class assignment was to learn about SKIMS, so my partner Jens and I spoke about our marketing, our challenges and our greatest wins.” The class “HBS Moving Beyond DTC” focused on the SKIMS brand’s success and challenges. Students in the class praised Kardashian for her knowledge and business acumen, with one student saying: “Just to learn from someone who has built such a successful business was really exciting.”
