SKIMS is stepping into a more provocative mood with its latest designer collaboration. Kim Kardashian has teamed up with Ludovic de Saint Sernin for a limited edition collection that brings together the sculpting language of SKIMS and the Parisian designer’s signature sensuality.
Launching on October 1, the collaboration explores body conscious dressing through sheer fabrics, lace up details and close fitting silhouettes. The pieces are designed to follow the body rather than hide it, creating a wardrobe that feels confident, revealing and distinctly after dark.
A Full Circle Fashion Partnership
Their new partnership therefore feels like a natural progression. Both Kardashian and de Saint Sernin share an interest in clothing that celebrates the body and creates a strong sense of confidence. Vogue described the collection as a meeting point between SKIMS’s simplicity and the designer’s lacy, highly sensual aesthetic.
Body Conscious Pieces with a 1990s Mood
Lace up details add a more rebellious edge to the clean shapes. They introduce glimpses of skin and give the pieces a slightly undone quality, as if classic shapewear has been loosened after dark.
The collection also takes inspiration from Kardashian’s own fashion archive. De Saint Sernin looked back at some of her most recognisable style eras while developing pieces intended to enhance the body and make the wearer feel powerful.
Steven Klein Brings the Drama
The campaign features both Kardashian and de Saint Sernin, presenting the collaboration as a shared creative world rather than a conventional celebrity fashion launch.
Where to Buy
The limited edition SKIMS x Ludovic de Saint Sernin collection will be available from October 1 on SKIMS.com and at selected SKIMS flagship stores in New York, Los Angeles, London and Dubai. Prices have not yet been announced.
With its combination of sculpting silhouettes, sheer details and unapologetic sensuality, the collection gives SKIMS a more fashion driven direction. It is familiar enough for the brand’s existing audience, but daring enough to feel like a genuine Ludovic de Saint Sernin intervention.
