Summer just got a lot hotter, courtesy of Skims’ latest swim drop. The Kim Kardashian-helmed brand unveiled its second luxury designer collaboration: a swimwear collection with Roberto Cavalli that delivers retro Italian glamour, sexy silhouettes, and a campaign starring none other than Kardashian and Kris Jenner, of course.
Inspired by the allure of Euro Summer, the Roberto Cavalli x Skims collection fuses the Italian fashion house’s bold, exotic prints with Skims’ sculpting swimwear designs. Cavalli’s signature aesthetic comes alive through three archival prints — Fagianella, Light Zebra, and Tiger Face — reimagined across Skims’ bestselling swim silhouettes. The result? A one-way ticket to the Amalfi Coast, complete with curve-hugging one-pieces, barely-there bikinis, billowing chiffon cover-ups, and silk headscarves worthy of a Mediterranean yacht moment.

Marked by the collection’s exotic animal prints and lush florals, the campaign stars Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner in a series of vintage-inspired photos that channel the over-the-top, retro glamour of the ’70s and ’80s. In one shot, Kardashian can be seen wearing the Roberto Cavalli x Skims Scoop Neck One Piece in Tiger Face Print with a red hot headband for a look worthy of a high fashion ’80s workout tape. In another, Jenner goes for peak seventies decadence while lounging in the Light Zebra Print from head to toe, wearing the collection’s one-piece, chiffon cover-up, and matching headscarf (on a matching animal print chair, no less).

“Unveiling such a luxurious collection with Roberto Cavalli is incredibly exciting. 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,” Kim Kardashian said in a statement from the brand. “We paired Cavalli’s most iconic prints with our signature swim silhouettes to deliver a sexy collection that empowers every body to own swim season, no matter where they vacation.”
This isn’t the first time Skims has teamed up with a luxury designer brand. Skims launched its collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana in 2024 with a campaign starring Kim and Kourtney Kardashian. The collection, which is still available to shop online, featured a range of Skims bras, underwear, and sleepwear in Dolce & Gabbana’s iconic leopard print.
Available in sizes XXS – 4X, the Roberto Cavalli x Skims collection will be available to shop starting this Friday, June 27th at 9 AM EST in-store and online at SKIMS.com, select Roberto Cavalli boutiques, and top luxury retailers, including Printemps New York. And given the success of Skims’ previous swim collections and designer collaborations, you’re going to want to shop it before it inevitably sells out.
