Fendi + Skims = True
The rumor mill has been churning, and it seems as if serial collaborator Kim Jones is back at it again with another partnership, this time with Kim Kardashian's SKIMS. The collab has now been confirmed by Kardashian herself.
Pictures of the potential collaboration between Fendi and the shapewear line surfaced earlier this month, and it seems that Kris Jenner didn't act fast enough because images quickly spread across the internet, leaving fans excited to see whether the partnership will actually come to fruition.
The images leaked on Instagram captured a handful of pieces including crop-tops and tight skirts, as well as a long sleeve and short-sleeved version of a dress – all emblazoned with a Fendi logo print. Arriving in a cream color as well as a bright red, the pieces seem to be made of a thicker, scuba-like material, as the graphics seem to be embossed in the fabric.
The collaboration isn't entirely surprising, as Kim Jones is constantly looking for new avenues to explore, and new partnerships to bring to life. Most recently, the designer teamed up with Donatella Versace for the logo-heavy, fever-inducing Fendace line, and has previously worked with a list of people that is too long to type out here.
Kim and Kim (Kim²?) have also been good friends for a long time, and Kardashian has frequently supported Jones at his Dior shows both front-row as well as on Instagram.
Following the rumors, Kim Kardashian took to IG to reveal the partnership, confirming the speculations with a campaign starring herself in the upcoming shapewear.
The limited-edition collection is Skims' first-ever luxury collaboration and marks a massive step for Kardashian. Set to launch on November 9, the pieces will be available on the new website www.fendiskims.com.
