Kim Kardashian collaborates with Fausto Puglisi for a bold swimwear collection.
The heat is officially on. Just in time for summer, Kim Kardashian has unveiled a sizzling collaboration between her shapewear empire SKIMS and the Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli. The result is a striking swimwear collection that merges Cavalli’s untamed aesthetic with SKIMS’ signature body-contouring fits, and it’s fronted by Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner.
Lensed by celebrated photographer Nadia Lee Cohen, the campaign serves up a glamorous nod to retro decadence. Kardashian channels a platinum-blonde bombshell in a scoop-neck tiger-print one-piece, while Jenner opts for a zebra-print suit, complete with a flowing cover-up and matching headscarf. Together, the duo redefine poolside power dressing, blending sensuality and sophistication in true Cavalli fashion.
The Roberto Cavalli x SKIMS capsule features a selection of one-pieces, bikinis, and statement-making cover-ups, each splashed with Cavalli’s most iconic prints, including Fagianella, Light Zebra, and the unmistakable Tiger Face. Expect high cuts, curve-hugging fabrics, and confident silhouettes that are as suited for a beach in Capri as they are for a rooftop pool in Miami.
This latest collaboration stems from a moment of vintage inspiration. Kardashian revealed the idea sparked after finding an old pair of Roberto Cavalli trousers in her closet. That discovery led to a creative exchange with Cavalli’s Artistic Director, Fausto Puglisi, culminating in a partnership that fuses high fashion with swim-ready functionality.
“Unveiling such a luxurious collection with Roberto Cavalli is incredibly exciting.” Kardashian shared. “I’ve always admired the brand’s exotic prints and bold energy, and bringing that vision to life through SKIMS Swim allowed us to create something truly unexpected and elevated. We paired Cavalli’s most iconic prints with our signature swim silhouettes to deliver a sexy collection that empowers everybody to own swim season, no matter where they vacation.”
Fausto Puglisi added: “Kim is a modern Marilyn Monroe – she is the pop icon; she inspires me so much. Collaborating with SKIMS on this glamorous, bold collection has been a remarkable experience.”
The Roberto Cavalli x SKIMS collection, available in inclusive sizing from XXS to 4X, drops Friday, 27 June at 9am EST via skims.com, SKIMS retail stores, select Roberto Cavalli boutiques, and luxury retailers worldwide.
