Skims taps Roberto Cavalli for luxury swimwear collaboration
Launching under the Skims Swim banner, the new collaboration comes inspired by the "Euro Summer", and combines Roberto Cavalli 's bold, animal prints with the U.S shapewear brand's body-enhancing swimwear, alongside billowy chiffon cover-ups and other accessories.
All items are marked by three archival Cavalli prints: Fagianella, Light Zebra, and Tiger Face, with each piece crafted in Skims' supportive fabrics, across an inclusive size range from XXS to 4X.
"Unveiling such a luxurious collection with Roberto Cavalli is incredibly exciting. I've always admired the brand's exotic prints and bold energy, and bringing that vision to life through Skims Swim allowed us to create something truly unexpected and elevated,' said Kim Kardashian, co-founder and chief creative officer, Skims.
'We paired Cavalli's most iconic prints with our signature swim silhouettes to deliver a sexy collection that empowers every body to own swim season, no matter where they vacation.'
The accompanying campaign, lensed by photographer Nadia Lee Cohen, stars Kardashian herself sporting a cropped blonde wig wearing the collab's Scoop Neck One Piece in Tiger Face Print in one image, while the influencer-turned-entrepreneur's mother, Kris Jenner, also stars, in the same shot donning matching floor-length cover-up in a striking tiger print.
"We're thrilled to introduce the Roberto Cavalli and Skims collection to the world. Collaborating with Skims on this glamorous, bold collection of swimwear has been a remarkable experience. To me, Kim is a modern Marilyn Monroe, she is the pop icon, she inspires me so much.' shared Fausto Puglisi, creative director of Roberto Cavalli, which was founded by its namesake designer in Florence, in 1970.
'Our brands are iconic in their own distinct ways, and we've meticulously blended archival prints with modern, functional design to create a collection that embodies the essence of Italian luxury.'
The Roberto Cavalli X Skims collaboration will be available for purchase on June 27, in-store and online at Skims, at select Roberto Cavalli boutiques, and via top luxury retailers, including Printemps New York.

Dolce & Gabbana exhibition in Rome: Love letter to Italian culture
With more than 200 unique haute couture pieces on display across 14 themed rooms, the exhibition celebrates Dolce & Gabbana's universe. Whether exploring references to Italian opera, folklore, architecture, or traditional theatre, one theme remains central: exceptional craftsmanship.'I feel like I learned not only about different techniques, but also about Italian culture and the various cities in Italy,' one visitor said. 'My personal style doesn't align with Dolce & Gabbana's,' added another, 'but I was surprised by how emotional I felt visiting the exhibition today. What we see here isn't the work of machines, but of human hands.' Throughout the exhibition, there are strong references to Sicily - the birthplace of Domenico Dolce and a constant source of inspiration for the brand - as well as to other iconic places. A guest from Naples told Euronews: 'I think it's a representation of Italy. When you look at the pieces, you see the country. I really liked how it highlights Sicily and Sardinia, but also other parts of Italy. I even spotted Naples, where I'm from. And seeing a painting of Sophia Loren - that was truly beautiful.' The Rome edition of the exhibition features three new rooms, including one dedicated entirely to Italian cinema. More than just fashion, From the Heart to the Hands is a celebration of the people, places, and passion behind Italy's enduring cultural legacy - as seen through the lens of two of its most influential fashion designers.

K-Way names Marco D'Avanzo head of international business
K-Way has hired an outerwear expert to spearhead the next phase of its international expansion drive. The France-born brand, now owned by Italian group BasicNet, has recently appointed Marco D'Avanzo as chief international business officer. D'Avanzo comes from Canadian high-end outerwear brand Moose Knuckles, which he joined in 2016 as executive vice-president global sales, based in Milan. He will still be based in Milan in his new role at K-Way. In the course of his career, D'Avanzo has worked at Woolrich, Guess, Versace and Benetton, and has now joined a thriving, growing sportswear brand. K-Way is, alongside Kappa, one of the mainstays of BasicNet, which still holds a 60% stake in the brand, while the remaining 40% was acquired at the end of last year by investment firm Permira, via its Permira Growth Opportunities II investment fund. K-Way has a strong market position in Europe, notably in France and Italy, and is positioned in the premium segment. Last year, K-Way dropped a first collaboration with US label Ulla Johnson, which was showing in New York. Previous collaborations for K-Way include names like Play Comme des Garçons, Maison Kitsuné, Soeur, Diemme, Tiny Cottons and Agnès b. They have all contributed to boosting K-Way's visibility, as it aims to enter new markets. In 2024, BasicNet reported that the total business volume generated by its brands was in the region of €1.19 billion, three quarters of which was produced in Europe.
