SKIMS: Kim Kardashian's brand from Los Angeles
What kind of brand is SKIMS?
SKIMS is an American shapewear and apparel brand founded in June 2019 by Kim Kardashian and Jens Grede, with Emma Grede as a founding partner. The company is based in Los Angeles. Shapewear is at the heart of its offering, but the brand also designs loungewear, underwear, and accessories, and launched a men's line in October 2023.
According to Wikipedia, SKIMS made apparel for U.S. team athletes at the Tokyo and Beijing Olympics, and released a joint collection with Fendi in 2021. At the launch of its collaboration with The North Face, Kim Kardashian noted that it was SKIMS' first foray into winter apparel.
SKIMS x The North Face jackets in the collection
The limited-edition The North Face x SKIMS collection was announced on December 5, 2024, and went on sale on December 10. As The Impression describes it, the collection was based on archival designs by The North Face adapted to SKIMS' fit, and Vanessa Beecroft photographed the campaign in the mountains of Chile. Marie Claire reports that the first collection comprised 14 products and sold out in five minutes.
Jackets: SKIMS x TNF 2000 Retro Nuptse Jacket in three colors: Sienna, Cocoa, and Onyx, all from the fall/winter 2024 season. The North Face presents it as its iconic 2000 Nuptse jacket in the SKIMS aesthetic. The shell and lining are made from recycled nylon with a PFC-free water-repellent finish, while the shell also offers wind protection with WindWall technology. The main insulation is 700-fill goose down, while the zipper flap and cuff tabs are filled with Heatseeker Eco synthetic insulation.
Details: the jacket packs into its right pocket, has zippered pockets, an internal hem drawcord that can be used to accentuate the waist, adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs, and an embroidered logo on the left chest and on the back of the right shoulder. Triclimate loops at the cuffs let you zip it into The North Face Mountain Jacket.
SKIMS x The North Face fit and sizing
The North Face describes the SKIMS 2000 Retro Nuptse fit as relaxed and slightly cropped, and adds that the jacket is a little roomier for greater comfort. W the product description, the brand also refers to a “shrunken fit,” while Marie Claire notes that the 2024 collection included only cropped jackets. The North Face lists this model in its women's line, so compare your measurements with the size chart on the product page before choosing a size.
