In recent years, Dolce & Gabbana has solidified its position as the fashion house of choice for the Kardashian family, with the iconic Italian brand designing Kourtney Kardashian’s entire wedding wardrobe in 2022. The family’s connection to the label deepened further when Kim Kardashian curated a special runway show for the brand, titled Ciao, Kim. Now, this partnership takes a new turn as Dolce & Gabbana teams up with SKIMS for a luxurious collection that blends high-end fashion with everyday comfort.
A New Era of Fashion: Affordable Luxury
On November 13, SKIMS CEO Jens Grede revealed the exciting collaboration at The Business of Fashion’s VOICES event, saying, “Hopefully the collaboration will show D&G in a slightly different light. They have the ability to reach millions of customers at a more accessible price point.” With this collaboration, SKIMS brings its renowned comfort to the luxurious world of Dolce & Gabbana, offering a stylish yet affordable way to embrace high fashion.
The collaboration introduces a mix of affordable shapewear and D&G’s signature motifs, featuring iconic leopard spots and a glamorous, old-school Italian aesthetic. The collection offers a range of pieces, including lingerie, swimwear, and sultry ready-to-wear items, blending SKIMS’s impeccable fit with the timeless style of Dolce & Gabbana.
Pricing and Sizes
The Dolce & Gabbana x SKIMS collection brings the luxury brand’s designs to a more accessible price range, with pieces starting at just $48 for basic items. More dramatic styles, like lingerie and swimsuits, are priced up to $698. Sizes are inclusive, ranging from XXS to 4X, and bra sizes span from 30A to 38DD, ensuring a variety of options for different body types.
This collection marks SKIMS’s second-ever designer collaboration, following their 2021 partnership with Fendi, signaling the brand’s continued rise in the fashion industry.
Kim Kardashian Speaks on the Collaboration
In a press release, Kim Kardashian expressed her excitement about the partnership, stating, “It’s been an honor to collaborate with my friends Domenico and Stefano on this special collection for Dolce & Gabbana and SKIMS.” She continued, “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 Dolce & Gabbana x SKIMS collection will be available starting at 9 AM ET on November 19. Fans can shop the pieces on the SKIMS website, in SKIMS stores, and select Dolce & Gabbana boutiques, as well as luxury retailers such as Neiman Marcus.
With this collaboration, the worlds of luxury fashion and everyday comfort collide, offering a new level of accessible luxury to the fashion-forward consumer.
