SKIMS and Ludovic de Saint Sernin Team Up on a Sensual New Collection

SKIMS is taking a more provocative approach with its latest designer collaboration. Kim Kardashian’s brand has joined forces with Paris-based designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin for a limited-edition collection that brings his signature sensual aesthetic into the world of SKIMS.

Launching October 1, the collaboration brings together de Saint Sernin’s body-conscious design language with SKIMS’ focus on fitted silhouettes, tonal color palettes and figure-enhancing fabrics.

The partnership also has a personal connection. Kardashian was an early supporter of de Saint Sernin’s work, wearing his designs as the label began attracting international attention. That longstanding relationship now comes full circle with the two working together on a collection inspired in part by Kardashian’s own fashion history.

Across the range, de Saint Sernin’s influence can be seen through sheer materials, lace-up accents, revealing details and streamlined silhouettes. Dresses and separates are designed to emphasize the body while maintaining the minimalist aesthetic that SKIMS has become known for.

The collection also draws inspiration from ’90s supermodel imagery, queer nightlife and subcultures that have influenced de Saint Sernin’s work throughout his career. Kardashian’s personal style adds another layer, with the designer looking to some of the silhouettes, attitudes and fashion moments that have shaped her image over the years.

“Ludovic has such a unique perspective and an incredible ability to create pieces that feel both provocative and refined while celebrating the beauty of the human form,” Kardashian said of the collaboration.

De Saint Sernin’s approach to transparency, exposure and fitted construction naturally complements SKIMS’ emphasis on clothing designed around the body. The resulting collection plays with the balance between revealing and restrained, giving the pieces an unmistakable after-dark feel.

Steven Klein photographed the accompanying campaign, bringing an equally dramatic visual direction to the collaboration. The imagery reinforces the collection’s references to ’90s fashion, nightlife and sensuality.

The limited-edition SKIMS x Ludovic de Saint Sernin collection launches October 1, 2026, at 9 a.m. PT through SKIMS.com and select SKIMS flagship locations in New York, Los Angeles, London, Chicago and Dubai.
