LOS ANGELES, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SKIMS, the lifestyle company co-founded by Kim Kardashian and Jens Grede, has acquired SKKN by Kim from Kim Kardashian and COTY, bringing her beauty NIL rights and ventures under the SKIMS brand. This bold move marks a pivotal expansion for SKIMS, expanding its portfolio beyond apparel.
Since its 2019 debut, SKIMS has redefined inclusivity and innovation, delivering solutions for every body—spanning shapewear, intimates, loungewear, swimwear, pajamas, and the recently announced NikeSKIMS activewear partnership with Nike. Now, by acquiring Kardashian's majority stake and Coty's minority stake in SKKN by Kim, SKIMS consolidates Kardashian's lifestyle portfolio, integrating her expertise in cosmetics, skincare, and fragrance into its ecosystem.
Kardashian's beauty legacy is undeniable. Her 2017 launch of KKW Beauty sparked a contouring revolution, while KKW Fragrance won "Fragrance of the Year" at the 2020 FiFi Awards. SKKN by Kim further elevated her influence, blending minimalist luxury with science-driven skincare.
"My mission has always been to create products that resonate deeply—whether it's shapewear and lingerie that empowers or make-up and skincare that transforms," says Kardashian, SKIMS Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder. "Uniting everything under the SKIMS brand streamlines that vision."
"This acquisition isn't just growth," says Jens Grede, CEO and Co-Founder of SKIMS. "It's about the strength of our brand and our ability to enter a new category with authority."
Through this acquisition, SKIMS will open its doors to expand into beauty, skincare, and fragrance, leveraging Kardashian's proven expertise to redefine these categories with SKIMS global and retail DTC footprint. With plans to start launching in 2026, SKIMS is poised to reshape the beauty and fragrance industry as it has apparel—details forthcoming.

SKIMS ACQUIRES SKKN BY KIM FROM KIM KARDASHIAN AND COTY, BRINGING KARDASHIAN'S BEAUTY NIL RIGHTS & VENTURES UNDER THE SKIMS BRAND
Limited-edition designs of Bellroy's lightweight, everyday bags and pouches from the Cinch range.
MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bellroy released new limited-edition products to their Cinch collection in celebration of the Year of the Horse, with colors, silhouettes and hidden messages representing calm and relaxation. The custom designs capture the symbolism of the new year with an injection of modernity, with crimson to represent lucky red, seafoam green as a nod to spring, and hidden messages of rest and readiness, unique to each style. These limited-edition products are available now at bellroy.com and at select retailers.
Products:
- Cinch Backpack – Year of the Horse Edition
- Cinch Mini Messenger – Year of the Horse Edition
- Cinch Pocket – Year of the Horse Edition
- Cinch Pouch – Year of the Horse Edition
- New Year Horse Charm
- New Year Owl Charm
Bellroy is also offering customers the New Year Horse Charm and New Year Owl Charm as gifts with the purchase of the Cinch Backpack – Year of the Horse Edition or Mini Messenger – Year of the Horse Edition (while stocks last). The horse charm, molded from clay and developed through 3D printing, features two snuggling horses sitting on a diamond-style knot that loosely resembles a traditional Chinese knot. Bellroy Designer Rowan Dinning says, "For Year of the Horse, we didn't want to signal a hustle culture, like the cliché, prancing pony. We focused more on being in connection with family and that sense of community when putting together the capsule."
This capsule is a modern take on a year that is often tied to speed, ambition and momentum. Bellroy reframes the story: rest and prepare, then move with purpose. "The idea was inspired by the phonetic similarity between 'Cinch' and the Chinese word '松弛' (sōngchí), which means relaxed, chilled or loosened. The design language of the Cinch family – playful structure, soft and lightweight materials – further reinforces this 'chilled' feeling," says Bellroy BD Project Manager Fiona Fang.
