The investment increased the company’s value from $1.6 billion in April 2021 to $3.2 billion.

Keeping up with Kim
Celebrities have been spotted wearing the Skims items, notably Kourtney Kardashian, Billie Eilish, and Kanye’s girlfriend Julia Fox.
Kim, who will be filming a new Hulu reality series, titled The Kardashians, plans to grow the company even further.
Jens Grede, chief executive officer of Skims, said: “We see an opportunity with Skims to create our own category in retail, just like how we believe Lululemon and Starbucks created their own categories in their respective areas”.
“That’s really why we’re doing this — to make sure we’re best prepared for the future.”
