Kim Kardashian and Rafael de Cárdenas sculpt a monumental, intimate space for Skims

Architecture

The new Skims flagship in London transforms a retail interior into a near-sculptural environment. Curved plaster walls, a continuous palette of warm neutrals, and a monumental Vanessa Beecroft figure lend the space the atmosphere of a contemporary shrine—an unlikely but compelling backdrop for intimate apparel.

Kardashian’s collaboration with de Cárdenas carries her home’s monastic calm into the public realm. The result is less about displaying products than staging an experience of comfort and control. It’s a striking example of how personal aesthetic can be scaled into architecture, blurring the line between fashion, design, and art.
