Lingerie provider Skims has expanded its collaboration with outdoor brand The North Face. The new collaboration now also includes a range for children for the first time.
The North Face x Skims limited winter collection had a successful debut last year. Most items sold out within 20 minutes. The collaboration is now returning just in time for Christmas. It offers an expanded selection of silhouettes and functional accessories – as well as children’s fashion.
The new collection will be launched on December 9th and will then be available in the stores and online shops of the two brands as well as from selected retail partners. It combines The North Face’s technical innovations and expertise in ski and snowboard clothing with Skims’ signature fit and design approach, according to a statement. The goal is to create “high-quality winter essentials in bold, seasonal colors.”
The collection features new and returning silhouettes and includes outerwear, figure-shaping base layers and versatile separates. These are made from advanced functional materials and designed so that they “move with the body,” according to a statement. This ensures “seamless performance in cold weather conditions”.
Kim Kardashian, co-founder and chief creative officer of Skims, commented on the collaboration in a statement: “With this new collection, we wanted to continue to push the boundaries of what winter clothing can look and feel. Every detail, from the fabrics to the silhouettes, has been designed to combine functionality with the sleek, modern aesthetic that defines Skims.”
“Family is such a big part of my life, so I’m particularly excited to introduce children’s fashion this season and continue to expand our offering for everyone.”
David Whetstone, Director of Design, Global Collaborations and Energy at The North Face, added: “Building on our collaboration with Skims last winter, this second season further solidifies our joint offering. It integrates world-class technical innovation, design excellence and a clear stance on fit.”
“Each piece leverages our mountain expertise and integrates Skims’ focus on form and aesthetics, changing the expectations of what performance clothing can be.”
