Ah, the Euro Summer. The soft clink of ice in an Aperol Spritz, the warm shimmer of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and you—posing effortlessly on the deck of a rented yacht that costs more per day than your therapist’s monthly retainer. But what are you wearing while perfecting that “accidentally candid” pose? Obviously, SKIMS x ROBERTO CAVALLI—because darling, no one flies to Capri to wear something… breathable.
Just in time for your passport to start collecting stamps, Kim Kardashian’s shapewear empire has dropped its second luxury designer collaboration. Enter: Roberto Cavalli. Yes, that Cavalli—the man behind the loudest prints, the wildest cats, and the glammest chaos of the early 2000s. Pairing him with the queen of neutral minimalism may sound like sartorial whiplash, but somehow… it works. In fact, it slinks.
The capsule is a sun-drenched, skin-baring tribute to retro Italian glamour, reimagined for the Instagram age. Think: high-cut one-pieces that defy logic and gravity, halter tops in jungle prints that whisper Bellucci in Mykonos, and barely-there mesh dresses that only make sense if your day includes both a speedboat and someone named Lorenzo. There are gold accents, tie-up strings, and dangerously low backs—basically, clothing that requires an NDA and a spray tan.
This isn’t just swimwear. It’s aesthetic performance wear for the luxury leisure class. And yes, there are accessories: oversized sunglasses that scream “privacy, please” while demanding attention, and a matching sarong that costs more than your flight to Naples (but who’s counting?). Every piece is designed for the woman who doesn’t swim but lounges by water, whose idea of hydration comes with a lemon wedge and 12.5% ABV.
Is it practical? Not in the slightest.
Is it essential? Utterly.
Is it essential? Utterly.
SKIMS x Cavalli isn’t about functionality—it’s about fantasy. It’s about turning the volume all the way upon summer decadence. Because why settle for a tan line when you can have a fashion moment?
