Kim Kardashian’s Vintage-Inspired Skims x North Face Collab Features $1,200 Ski Sets in Their Signature Neutrals
Après-Skims season has officially started.
In the fashion world, it’s no longer enough just to own the latest trendy bag or viral designer sneaker. The true test of one’s standing is in their archival collection. On the red carpet, celebrities like Zendaya and Kim Kardashian have made it a habit to pull coveted vintage creations from the archives of luxury fashion houses—the rarer, the better.
Kardashian, particularly, has a knack for procuring garments worn by famous historical figures, such as Princess Diana, Nicole Brown Simpson, and the controversial Marilyn Monroe dress, which she wore to the 2023 Met Gala. She even has a special warehouse dedicated to storing her vintage pieces. Though Kardashian owns a fashion brand of her own, which makes new clothing, she’s bringing her love of vintage to Skim’s latest collection.
On Dec. 5, the loungewear and intimates brand announced their second collab of the holiday season: The North Face x Skims. Following the sold-out Dolce & Gabbana line, which dropped just two weeks ago, the Kardashians star has confirmed a new ski collection is well on its way. According to a press release, the drop will feature “archival styles from The North Face reimagined with Skims’ innovative fit and signature color palette”—in layman’s terms, that means puffer coats in a range of saturated neutral hues. Now, it's all available to shop online.

“This marks Skims first-ever foray into the world of winter wear and partnering with The North Face allowed us to leverage their expertise in this category. The collection is a combination of functional and flattering apparel solutions for the season,” said Kardashian in a statement.
Though Skims typically offers sizing up to 4X, this collection—which features athleisure staples, as well as ski suits and accessories—will only be shoppable in sizes XXS-3X. Its prices, too, are well above average, with items ranging from $60 to $1,200—a drastic change from Skim’s mostly under-$100 business model.

As of today, December 10, the full range of styles will be available to purchase at several luxury retailers, including SSENSE and LuisaviaRoma, in addition to the SKIMS website. Happy skiing!
