Kim K fans, prepare for your sparkliest Christmas yet. The reality star and business mogul’s SKIMS brand has joined forces with crystal jeweller Swarovski on a limited-edition range of body jewellery, intimates and ready-to-wear clothing.
Launching on 7th November in New York at Swarovski’s Fifth Avenue flagship store and also at a dedicated Swarovski x SKIMS pop-up at London’s Selfridges on Oxford Street, as well as online, the collaboration takes its inspiration from Swarovski’s successful Millenia jewellery collection, which launched in 2021 as the debut of creative director, Giovanna Engelbert. Perhaps a hint of what was to follow, Kardashian actually wore some exclusive custom Millenia pieces to watch Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour show in Los Angeles earlier this year.
“It’s been a dream since I joined Swarovski to create a first-ever collaboration with SKIMS that furthers the art of self-expression,” says Engelbert. “Our collection is a celebration of the body, and of strong, independent women who value their individuality and embrace life with confidence and style.”
Alongside glittering ready to wear pieces such as size inclusive lingerie, bodysuits and dresses, the collaboration also features crystal body jewellery “that can be styled in multiple ways” with matching chokers, necklaces and bracelets, says the brand. It was unveiled with ultra-glossy campaign images captured by fashion photographer, Mert Alas, a long time friend of Kardashian’s (she even featured in a series of portraits shot by Alas earlier this year for his own premium gin label, Seventy One Gin).
For her part, Kardashian seems equally enthused about her latest shimmering venture. “We really wanted to celebrate individual creativity and bring more glamour into getting dressed every day. The pieces are so dreamy, and we loved integrating the iconic crystal cuts into my favourite SKIMS pieces. We can’t wait for everyone to love Swarovski x SKIMS as much as I do,” she said of the project.
