Kim Kardashian has heaped praise on Kari Vettese after they announced a new collaboration.
Kim Kardashian has "always admired" Kari Vettese.
The 45-year-old star has joined forces with Kari's emerging luxury fashion house to launch a limited-edition ready-to-wear collaboration through Skims, and Kim is thrilled to be working with the Los Angeles-based designer.
Kim, the co-founder and chief creative officer of Skims, said: "Kari has such a unique approach to design, and I’ve always admired the ways she creates pieces that feel sculptural while remaining effortless to wear.
"Bringing Vettese together with Skims felt like a natural fit. We loved the opportunity to combine our two perspectives and create something that feels fresh while staying true to both brands."
Kari is similarly thrilled to be working with Kim on the limited-edition capsule.
The designer said: "Vettese was built on the belief that exceptional craftsmanship and independent creativity define the future of luxury, while Skims has become one of the most influential cultural brands of our generation.
"This collection brings those worlds together through Vettese’s original interconnected design philosophy, where each garment is conceived as part of a larger dialogue — designed to connect, transform and be styled in multiple ways."
Kari explained what her company was able to bring to the collaboration.
She told WWD: "It gives the elevated high fashion approach to what they’re offering.
"It gives more convertibility. I like to include that in my designs a lot. You can wear literally everything the wrong way and so many different ways. We show that in the collection. There are so many different ways to wear it."
Meanwhile, Hailey Bieber recently admitted to being wowed by Kim's business acumen.
The 29-year-old model featured in an advertising campaign for Kim's Skims brand, and Hailey spoke of her admiration for the brunette beauty, who co-founded Skims in 2019.
Asked about her experience of working with Skims, Hailey - who featured in the ad campaign for Skims' Everyday Cotton collection - told W magazine: "The brand and Kim have such a clear vision and truly care about what customers are looking for in their products and that was reflected in every step of the process."
