Kim and Kourtney Kardashian are glowing in artful, nostalgic photos from SKIMS’ latest collab!
SKIMS is launching a new collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, which will be available to shop on Nov. 19. The partnership, announced on Thursday, Nov. 14, “merges the Italian lifestyle of Dolce&Gabbana with SKIMS signature comfort and solutions,” according to a press release.
“It’s been an honor to collaborate with my friends Domenico and Stefano on this special collection for Dolce&Gabbana and SKIMS,” Kim said in the release. “We’ve taken classic Dolce&Gabbana silhouettes and Leopard prints and reimagined them with the incredible fit and comfort that SKIMS is known for. This is a truly iconic partnership that I’m so excited to share with the world.”
The upcoming collection, which merges the two brands’ silhouettes, materials and styles, has been captured in “truly Italian everyday settings” by visual artist Nadia Lee Cohen and photographer Donna Trope.
In one photo from the collab, the Kardashian sisters walk an Italian street in matching leopard-print catsuits, donning classic voluminous hairstyles while garnering admiring looks from those around them.
Another shows Kim leaning out a window in a leopard-print bralette and matching button-up. Another photo sees Kim lounging in a chair wearing a black sheer mesh bodysuit, stockings and a white apron with her hair artfully piled atop her head.
Kim and Kourtney also filmed a couple videos for the campaign that find them in the same Italian setting, clad in their leopard-print and high-fashion SKIMS pieces. They frolic, all smiles — which is a far cry from the clash the two found themselves in just a few short years ago amid Kourtney’s wedding and Kim’s foray into modeling and collaboration with the fashion house.
Kardashian fans will recall Kourtney wore a Dolce & Gabbana minidress for her May 2022 wedding to Travis Barker. The rest of the family also dressed in looks from the Italian label for the nuptials. Just a few short months later, Kim collabed with D&G at Milan Fashion Week.
In a later episode of The Kardashians in June 2023, Kim opened up about the situation, saying in a confessional, “I want to be respectful for Kourtney and this journey; I didn’t want to do any of her looks even if I loved them.”
However, Kourtney cried over Kim “copying” her wedding with her “business deal” with Dolce & Gabbana, saying she didn’t think her sister cared how she felt in the matter.
Lingerie, sleep sets, coutouring pants and corsets will all be part of the upcoming collaboration, and are made to be versatile throughout daily wear. The collection ranges from XXS to 4X, and bra sizes 30A to 38DD.
“We hold a genuine affection for Kim and her family,” Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said in the press release. “Our shared bond, rooted in a long-standing friendship, naturally inspired this new collaboration centered on inclusivity and body positivity – values close to our hearts and core to Skims.”
The collection will launch Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 9 a.m. EST at SKIMS.com, SKIMS retail stores, select Dolce&Gabbana boutiques and Neiman Marcus.
