SKIMS and Paris-based designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin have officially revealed their new collaborative collection, bringing together two distinct approaches to modern fashion in a capsule centered on sensual silhouettes and revealing details.
The SKIMS x Ludovic de Saint Sernin Collection is being introduced through a new campaign photographed by renowned fashion photographer Steven Klein.
The campaign stars SKIMS founder Kim Kardashian alongside Ludovic de Saint Sernin, giving audiences their first full look at the collection ahead of its official release.
The collaboration builds on an early preview of the collection that took place during the opening of SKIMS’ London flagship store on September 18.
During the event, artists including Kim Petras, Tems and Rose Gray were seen wearing selected pieces from the upcoming range, offering an early glimpse at the direction of the partnership.
The collection brings together de Saint Sernin’s established design language with SKIMS’ emphasis on fit, fabric technology and close-to-the-body construction.
Rather than treating the collaboration as a simple co-branded collection, the two labels have created pieces that reflect elements associated with both brands.
De Saint Sernin is known for designs that explore sensuality, transparency and the relationship between clothing and the body. Those elements are particularly visible throughout the new SKIMS capsule.
The collection features dresses, separates and statement pieces designed around the body, with sheer materials playing a central role in several of the looks.
Lace is another major feature, with intricate construction and lace-up details adding both visual texture and adjustable elements to the designs.
The pieces maintain SKIMS’ recognizable tonal color approach, allowing the silhouettes and construction details to remain the focus of each look.
The body-conscious cuts are also consistent throughout the range, creating fitted shapes that closely follow the wearer's form.
The combination of sheer fabrics and structured lace-up elements gives the collection a more daring appearance while maintaining the streamlined aesthetic that has become closely associated with SKIMS.
The campaign by Steven Klein further emphasizes that direction, using a highly stylized visual approach to showcase the relationship between the clothing, the body and the collection's overall mood.
For Kim Kardashian, the collaboration also expands SKIMS’ growing presence in the high-fashion space.
Since launching SKIMS, Kardashian has expanded the brand beyond its original focus on shapewear and underwear into ready-to-wear, swimwear, lingerie, footwear and other fashion categories.
Working with de Saint Sernin gives the brand an opportunity to explore a more experimental side of its design identity while keeping its emphasis on fit and wearable construction.
The Parisian designer, meanwhile, brings his own fashion perspective to a global brand with a large international customer base.
The partnership also follows SKIMS’ continued expansion through physical retail locations in major fashion markets.
The London preview took place as SKIMS continues to establish itself outside the United States, with flagship stores already operating in several major cities.
The full collaboration will be available beginning Thursday, October 1, 2026.
Customers will be able to purchase the SKIMS x Ludovic de Saint Sernin collection through the official SKIMS website and at selected SKIMS flagship stores.
The physical release locations include New York, Los Angeles, London, Chicago and Dubai.
The launch gives shoppers in each of those markets direct access to the capsule, while the online release will make the collection available to SKIMS customers more broadly.
With its combination of sheer fabrics, lace-up construction, fitted silhouettes and neutral tones, the collection marks another step in SKIMS’ expansion into more fashion-forward collaborations.
The SKIMS x Ludovic de Saint Sernin Collection officially drops Thursday, October 1, 2026, exclusively through SKIMS and SKIMS flagship stores in New York, Los Angeles, London, Chicago and Dubai.
