Skims is now a $5 billion brand, thanks to the completion of a $225 million capital raise.
The round, announced on Wednesday, was led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives with participation from BDT & MSD Partners’ affiliated funds. “This milestone reflects continued confidence in our long-term vision and coupled with disciplined execution, positions Skims to unlock its next phase of growth,” Jens Grede, co-founder and CEO, said in a statement. “Today’s announcement validates the hard work of our incredible team and partners who have helped us reach this exciting new chapter, becoming a global omnichannel retail brand,” co-founder and chief creative officer Kim Kardashian said. “We can’t wait to take Skims to the next level as we continue to innovate and set the standard for our industry.”
