Kim Kardashian's shapewear empire Skims has joined forces with the rising Italian luxury label Vettese for a limited-edition ready-to-wear capsule. The collection marries Vettese's architectural, sculptural silhouettes with Skims' trademark second-skin fabrics, resulting in pieces that feel both structured and effortlessly wearable. It's a meeting of two distinct design languages: one known for dramatic, almost couture-like forms, the other for seamless, body-hugging comfort.
The capsule features a tight edit of dresses, tops, and bodysuits, each piece showcasing Vettese's signature draping and volume - think exaggerated shoulders, cinched waists, and flowing panels - but executed in Skims' lightweight, stretchy materials. This isn't just a logo swap; the designers worked closely to ensure that the sculptural elements remain functional for everyday wear. The color palette stays neutral, with black, ivory, and a muted clay tone dominating the lineup.
Priced between $98 and $395, the collection bridges the gap between high-concept fashion and accessible luxury. It's currently available online and in select Skims stores, though given the limited run, shoppers should expect quick sellouts. For the Lingerie Museum, this collaboration highlights how shapewear technology continues to influence broader fashion, blurring the line between foundation garments and statement pieces.
