“I’m extremely proud to announce The North Face x Skims collaboration. 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 Kim Kardashian, co-founder and chief creative officer, Skims.
“I’ve spent a lot of time on the slopes, so I was definitely inspired when we were developing this collection and I can’t wait to wear these pieces on my next trip.”
