The 2000s Are Back: Why the SKIMS x Roberto Cavalli Collaboration Is the Best Thing That Happened to Us This Summer

In 2004, we wore this with low-rise jeans. In 2025 — with confidence. And a new figure.

What happens when you combine nostalgia for the vibrant 2000s with the sensuality and comfort that define today’s fashion? The answer is SKIMS x Roberto Cavalli. A collaboration that brings back archival prints, old passions, and a burning desire to stand out from the crowd.

Kim Kardashian flips through old photos and finds a pair of Cavalli lace-up pants. Memories flash like an old Polaroid: she wore Cavalli every sunny weekend, every hot vacation. Then a few lines in a direct message to Fausto Puglisi, the brand’s creative director: “What if…?”

He didn’t hesitate: “You’re a pop icon. Let’s do it.”

The shoot, styled like an amateur video, blends grunge and glam. Behind the camera is Nadia Lee Cohen, a visual poet of modern feminine confidence. The focus: Kim and Kris Jenner, two generations who have nothing left to prove and simply live fully.

This isn’t just an ad — it’s a home video turned manifesto: beauty is being yourself, unfiltered.

The capsule is based on three iconic Cavalli archival prints — Fagianella, Light Zebra, and Tiger Face. They added a pink-turquoise floral motif, and if you don’t hear “I’m a Slave 4 U” by Britney in your head, go watch the video right now.

Swimsuits, bandeau tops, capris, chiffon cover-ups — these aren’t just clothes, they’re summer vibes made fabric. Sexy but not vulgar. Comfortable but never basic. Perfect for a pool day in Santorini or a latte in downtown New York.

This collection isn’t just about clothes. It’s about giving yourself permission to be bold, sexy, and noticed. About that inner girl who wore bandanas and lip gloss — and never doubted herself.

“On vacation, we all want more: more color, more texture, more attention. This collection is for that,” says Kim. And we agree 100%.

Release date — June 27. It’s Friday, and there’s no better way to start the weekend than with a new version of yourself. Find it on the official SKIMS website and partner platforms.
