Who is Skims CEO Jens Grede?
In 2003, Swedish entrepreneur Jens Grede and his business partner Eric Torstensson launched a London-based creative agency called Saturday Group.
Before the launch, the two worked at the interior design magazine Wallpaper.
The duo worked as editors-in-chief at Man About Town before launching their fashion magazine: Industrie.
With collaboration efforts from supermodel Karlie Kloss, Grede and Torstensson launched Frame Denim in 2012.
Grede and reality star Kim Kardashian created her shapewear brand Skims in 2019; Grede is CEO, and his wife, Emma, is a founding partner.
Emma and her husband also work together on Khloe Kardashian’s fashion line, Good American.
Khloe and Emma worked together to inaugurate the size-inclusive clothing company in 2016.
How did Jens and Emma Grede meet?
On November 2, 2021, Emma Grede took to her Instagram account to share an image of her and Jens’ newborn twin babies – arriving at them with the help of a surrogate mother.
“Welcome to the world our daughter Lake Holiday London and our son Rafferty Banks Kjell Grede,” she captioned the photo.
Months earlier, on July 28, Emma wished her husband a happy anniversary, stating the two have spent the last 13 years together – nine of them as a married couple.
