Opinion: SKKN’s Second Chance in Beauty Could Depend on SKIMS

SKIMS transformed shapewear from functional undergarments into a fashion statement in just three years. Kim Kardashian’s brand, now valued at $4 billion, redefined an entire category through innovative designs, inclusive sizing, and masterful marketing. But as rumors of a SKIMS beauty line swirl (as SKIMS acquired SKKN by Kim), I question whether this fashion powerhouse can replicate its magic in the $600 billion beauty industry.
