Kim Kardashian recently celebrated the grand opening of a Skims flagship store in London during London Fashion Week. Marking the occasion, she wore a figure-flattering gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, known as the Mermaid Bi Dress. The gown featured a structured bodice adorned with silver grommet trim and a sleek, stretchy material that transitioned into a sheer fabric, creating a stunning mermaid silhouette.
This collaboration is particularly significant as Kardashian plans to launch a limited-edition collection with de Saint Sernin on October 1, merging Skims’ shapewear with the designer’s sensual aesthetics. De Saint Sernin, acclaimed for his gender-fluid designs, has a background working with renowned fashion houses like Dior, Saint Laurent, and Balmain.
Kardashian’s partnership with de Saint Sernin feels natural, given her history of wearing Balmain designs and her frequent choice of de Saint Sernin’s pieces in the past. The launch event was a highlight of the fashion week, drawing attention to both the new Skims store and Kardashian’s evolving fashion narrative.
