Skims Unveils First West Coast Flagship Store in Los Angeles
Skims has officially made its mark on the West Coast with the grand opening of its first-ever flagship store in Los Angeles. Nestled in the city where the brand was born, this new retail space delivers an immersive shopping experience that blends style, innovation, and Skims’ signature body-focused design ethos

Step Inside the Skims LA Experience
Designed by renowned studio Rafael de Cárdenas, Ltd., the 4,546-square-foot store is a masterclass in modern minimalism. With smooth, rounded-edge fixtures, custom-toned mannequins, and an intuitive layout, every detail invites exploration. A striking 12-foot sculpture by artist Vanessa Beecroft sets the tone at the entrance, while sleek materials like Corian and ultrasuede—paired with curated lighting—complete the space’s warm, tactile ambiance.
Shop Iconic Styles and Exclusive Drops
The LA flagship offers Skims’ best-selling collections for both women and men—including Fits Everybody, Cotton, and Ultimate Bras. But this store also holds something extra special: exclusive access to the NikeSkims collection and a limited “Skims Loves LA” capsule, available only at this location.
A Full-Circle Moment for Kim Kardashian
“Opening a Skims store in Los Angeles is a full-circle moment,” shared Kim Kardashian, co-founder and chief creative officer. “This city has been a huge part of my life, and having a space here where people can experience the brand in person makes it even more special. We’re just getting started.”
What’s Next for Skims?
This launch follows the brand’s rapid retail rollout, with stores now in New York, Georgetown, Aventura, Austin, Houston, and Atlanta—and even more planned for 2025.
“Los Angeles has always been an important market for Skims,” said Jens Grede, co-founder and CEO. “Seeing our standalone stores come to life has been incredible. We’re excited to give both new and loyal customers a space to fully experience Skims.”
Celebrate in Style: Skims x Mel’s Drive-In
To mark the flagship opening, Skims has teamed up with Mel’s Drive-In for a limited-edition dining takeover. From April 2nd to April 6th, the iconic retro diner will transform into the Skims Drive-In, complete with a themed photo booth, exclusive Skims menu, and playful brand-inspired decor.
