The wait is over. Kim Kardashian is back with another designer collab, and this time, it’s dripping in retro glam, fierce prints, and Mediterranean heat. The new SKIMS x Roberto Cavalli swimwear collection officially drops June 27, and it’s everything you’d want from a fashion love child between America’s queen of bodycon and Italy’s king of maximalist animal print.
Following in the (very high-heeled) footsteps of past collabs with Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi, this latest designer drop marks SKIMS’ first big splash of 2025 — and the return of SKIMS Swim in the most luxurious way possible.
The collection fuses Cavalli’s signature exotic prints with the sculpted, barely-there silhouettes that made SKIMS a swimwear staple. Think: bold one-pieces, micro bikinis, sheer cover-ups, and silk headscarves that scream Amalfi yacht party at golden hour.
What’s in the Collection?
Three archival Cavalli prints are the stars of the show:
- Tiger Face: A high-drama feline print that’s already earning its place in the animal-print revival hall of fame. It’s sultry, statement-making, and pure Cavalli.
- Light Zebra: A chic, slightly psychedelic zebra motif that’s perfect for channeling vintage glam with a modern twist.
- Fagianella: The unexpected floral of the bunch, featuring delicate pink blossoms on a baby blue background. Think The White Lotus meets Riviera romance.
“These prints are some of Cavalli’s most iconic,” Kim Kardashian said in a statement. “We paired them with our signature swim silhouettes to deliver a sexy collection that empowers every body to own swim season, no matter where they vacation.”
The prints show up across a curated mix of SKIMS best-sellers, including scoop-neck one-pieces, triangle bikinis, chiffon sarongs, and full glam head-to-toe sets. It’s unapologetically bold, undeniably Cavalli, and very much Kardashian.
The Campaign: Vintage Glam With a Twist
The accompanying campaign, which stars Kim herself alongside momager Kris Jenner, was shot by photographer Nadia Lee Cohen, according to Marie Claire.
Picture a fantasy retro postcard from an Italian holiday: big hair, bigger sunglasses, and swimwear with major attitude. One standout? Kim in a Tiger Face one-piece with a headband that would make Jane Fonda jealous. Another moment? Kris lounging in zebra from head to toe — including the furniture.
