The collaboration craze is still ongoing in the ski fashion world. After the trend brought us the likes of Gucci x Head collab and JCC x Rossignol collab, it now brings us Skims x North Face. Kim Kardashian launched her fashion empire Skims back in 2019. Initially, Skims was launched as a shapewear clothing line but since has expanded into outerwear. Now Skims has branched out into ski clothing in a collaboration with North Face.
The collaboration is a fusion based around North Face’s popular 1996 Retro Nuptse jacket with the understated skin-tone colors of Skims’ original shapewear line. Ranging in colors from black to various skin tones, the collaboration is sleek and elegant, yet also embraces the sporty utility of North Face ski clothing. The lines ranges from outerwear, such as puffer jackets and bodysuits to baselayers and accessories.
The Skims x North Face ski clothing line features entirely neutral skin colors as well as black and sizes will range from XXS to 3X, while prices will range from $60 to $1,200.
“At The North Face, we always put innovation and functionality first, the collaboration space is no exception,” said David Whetstone, who leads The North Face’s Global Collaborations and Energy department. “With Skims, we maintained best in class constructions and materials and this collaboration came about from a mutual admiration.”
While not every woman may want to squeeze into a revealing bodysuit for skiing, you can rest assured that this line will sell out. Kardashian’s Skims fashion line has gone from strength to strength and the company is estimated to be worth more than $ 4 billion.
The North Face and SKIMS collection will be available to shop on skims.com, at Skims retail stores, select The North Face retail locations, and in select luxury retailers from December 10, 2024.
