SKIMS

An offer organised around fit and everyday clothing

SKIMS launched in 2019 and developed its name through underwear, shapewear and loungewear. The company's public presentation puts fit and the way clothing works on the body at the centre of the offer. The catalogue gives that positioning a practical expression through different products, fabrics and collections.

The brand's connection with co-founder Kim Kardashian is immediately recognisable, but a shopper's decision also involves concrete product details. Size information, fabric characteristics and the intended use of a piece help turn awareness into an informed purchase.

A catalogue that supports different occasions

The range extends across several clothing categories rather than treating shapewear as the whole business. Underwear, lounge pieces and other collections give the company different ways to enter a customer's wardrobe, with the product pages explaining the available styles and materials.

That structure matters to the continuing retail relationship. A customer may arrive for one type of item and return for another, while the overall brand identity provides a consistent point of reference. Current ranges and availability are set out on the official SKIMS website.

Organising a clothing range involves more than selecting a campaign image. Customers need to understand the category, the intended fit and the options within it. SKIMS presents those choices through its catalogue, connecting a strong visual identity with the practical information involved in buying garments.

Creative direction and the founder connection

Kim Kardashian is identified in Nike's partnership announcement as co-founder and chief creative officer of SKIMS. Her public profile helps introduce the company, while the creative role connects that visibility with decisions about the brand and its products.

A consumer business also needs the organisation behind those decisions: design work, product development, fulfilment and retail. The company portrait therefore concerns a coordinated clothing operation, with Kardashian's entrepreneurial role providing the connection to the personal story in this collection.

NikeSKIMS as an extension of the proposition

Nike and SKIMS announced NikeSKIMS in February 2025 as a new brand for women. The published description combines sporting expertise with an emphasis on fit and style, bringing the two companies' respective approaches into one product project.

The partnership offers a useful example of how SKIMS can develop through collaboration as well as its own catalogue. It gives readers a specific, documented route to understand the company's wider ambitions without relying on estimates of the founder's personal wealth or the future performance of the business.
