SKIMS skyrocketed to be one of the leading fashion and shape wear brands in just five short years. Kim Kardashian's initial vision for SKIMS was to have underwear in her skin tone when no other market offered it. Jetset to the current day and her company is worth over $4 billion.
One of the reasons why SKIMS is very successful is its collaboration with major brands. This business strategy created limited edition drops and fueled revenues for SKIMS and its partnerships. It's all part of Kim's nonstop commitment and work ethic.
We're looking at the fashion brands that SKIMS have collaborated with since their 2019 launch.
SKIMS has an impressive brand collaboration list
2021 Fendi
The Italian fashion house Fendi was the first brand that SKIMS partnered with. The Fendi x SKIMS collection comprised bras, dresses, one-pieces, leggings, accessories, and tops in luxe fabrics and vibrant colors such as Orchid, Chili Red, and Olive Green.
The pieces are no longer available on the SKIMS website, but you can shop for gently used and preowned items at online consignment shops such as The RealReal and Poshmark.
2023 Swarovski
Kim loves all things sparkling, so partnering with the Austrian crystal brand felt like a natural fit. The collection had blinged-out pieces such as tops, skirts, jewelry, and sportswear. Kim took the SKIMSxSwarovski launch to the Big Apple, where it debuted at the flagship store.
Celebrities also walked the Crystal Carpet for the drop and several wore the Swarovski clothing
Kim reflected with Elle Magazine regarding the collaboration in November 2023 and why she did it.
"The collaboration was a natural pairing and a dream for me as I’ve been a Swarovski girl. The Swarovski crystals and the glamour of the brand make me feel so happy, and I hope our customers feel the same way when wearing the collection. Merging jewelry design and ready-to-wear is something I’ve always wanted to do, so pairing Swarovski’s expertise in crystals and SKIMS innovative fabrics made total sense."
2024 Dolce and Gabbana
Dolce and Gabbana is the next big-name fashion brand that SKIMS partnered with. Kim even enlisted her sister Kourtney to join her on the retro Italy campaign. The pieces, which have been restocked on SKIMS.com, included catsuits, dresses, underwear, and silky robes with fierce leopard prints.
The photoshoot of the campaign will be featured in a future season 6 episode of The Kardashians. Kourtney will spill the tea of how she felt working alongside her sister. Could the past drama rise between them?
2024 The North Face
The cold-weather apparel brand, The North Face, was the second 2024 collaboration, and the collection sold out within seconds on the SKIMS site. As Kim loves to ski, she launched puffer jackets, fleece pieces, beanies, ski suits, and more with the collaboration in her classic neutrals.
Your best bet of grabbing one of the merch pieces is eBay, but be well aware that you're going to shell out some major money or lose in the bidding.
2025 Nike
Nike is the first collaboration of 2025. Kim and the sports company announced it on February 18th, with a set launch in the spring. The collection, like the ones before it, will have clothing and accessories with both the Nike Swish logo and SKIMS name. Athletic shoes will also be included in the limited edition collection, and will specifically be geared toward women.
SKIMS and Nike will then have a global expansion in 2026, so you know that this partnership will be huge and profitable for both companies.
What other collabs will SKIMS have in the future? We'll just have to wait and see!
