SKIMS

SKIMS is a fashion and apparel company founded in 2019 that designs technically constructed intimates and bodywear. Its product range spans underwear, shapewear, loungewear, sleepwear and activewear, and the brand is valued at $5 billion. The company's stated approach is solutions-oriented: each product is engineered to address specific fit, comfort and support problems for a wide range of bodies.

Underpinning the range is a set of technical disciplines. Garment construction and technical textile design sit alongside inclusive sizing and fit engineering, fabric stretch and compression engineering, and shapewear sculpting and support level design. SKIMS underwear is engineered to stretch to twice its size without compromising fit or fabric, while its shapewear provides targeted sculpting across a range of support levels without pinching or constricting.

Inclusivity is built into the product specification rather than treated as a niche line. Sizing runs from XXS to 5X, and shades are produced in dozens of tones representing diverse skin tones. The company has extended beyond intimates into loungewear and sleepwear, and has entered performance categories through activewear collaborations with Nike and The North Face.

SKIMS describes its culture as mission-driven, centred on body positivity and inclusivity, with an obsessive focus on product innovation and customer needs. The company values self-expression, comfort, fit and confidence for diverse bodies, and combines technical construction with fashion-forward design.
