In a partnership that promises to redefine luxury for the modern woman, SKIMS, the shapewear brand co-founded by Kim Kardashian, has joined forces with Italian fashion powerhouse Dolce & Gabbana for a stunning new collaboration. This limited-edition collection marries SKIMS’ commitment to body-enhancing comfort with the opulent maximalism that defines Dolce & Gabbana’s signature aesthetic. As the two brands fuse their identities, the result is a line that’s both sensual and wearable—perfect for a consumer base eager to embrace confidence in every silhouette.
The collection brings Dolce & Gabbana’s iconic motifs—think bold leopard print, Italian glamour, and sultry corsetry—into SKIMS' world of chic, everyday luxury. From reinvented Dolce & Gabbana silhouettes to SKIMS’ signature Classic Cotton sets adorned with the brand’s hallmark print, each piece bridges the gap between comfort and couture. The collection includes everything from lingerie and silk sleep sets to contouring pants and body-shaping corsets. Designed to cater to a variety of body types, the range extends from XXS to 4X, with bra cup sizes ranging from 30A to 38DD.
Kim Kardashian, ever the tastemaker, shared her excitement about the project: “It’s been an honour to collaborate with my friends Domenico and Stefano on this special collection for Dolce & Gabbana and SKIMS,” she said. “We’ve taken classic Dolce & Gabbana silhouettes and leopard prints and reimagined them with the incredible fit and comfort that SKIMS is known for.” Her statement reflects the core of the collection—offering pieces that are not only aspirational but accessible, embodying both luxury and inclusivity.
The campaign, shot by the renowned Nadia Lee Cohen, captures Kim and Kourtney Kardashian Barker in settings that evoke the charm of Italian everyday life, paying homage to the rich cultural heritage that Dolce & Gabbana has made its own. The sensuality of the collection is emphasized in Cohen’s photography, where skin-tight silhouettes in leopard print take centre stage, complemented by refined textures and subtle branding. "It’s all about capturing the spirit of Italy, with a modern twist,” says Cohen. “Kim and Kourtney were the perfect muses for this campaign, embodying the timeless allure of Dolce & Gabbana.”
This collaboration builds on an ongoing relationship between the Kardashian family and Dolce & Gabbana, which has already seen Kim lend her design expertise to the luxury brand’s collections. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, creative minds behind the house, expressed their genuine affection for Kim and her family, noting that their long-standing friendship formed the foundation of this partnership. “Our shared bond, rooted in a long-standing friendship, naturally inspired this new collaboration centred on inclusivity and body positivity—values close to our hearts and core to SKIMS,” they said in a joint statement.
Available from November 19, 2024, the collection will drop online on SKIMS’ website, Dolce & Gabbana boutiques, and luxury retailers. With prices expected to range from $48 for simpler pieces to $698 for more intricate designs, the collection offers something for both those looking for accessible luxury and those wishing to splurge on statement-making pieces. Whether you’re drawn to the bold patterns or the flattering fits, the SKIMS x Dolce & Gabbana collection is an exciting new chapter for both brands, setting a new standard for luxury that’s inclusive, accessible, and undeniably chic.
