Kim Kardashian for SKIMS by Nick Knight and Carine Roitfeld Is a Rocket Ready for Takeoff AOC Body

AOC is a big fan of Kim Kardashian, but on occasion I feel that this uber-talented woman is trying needlessly hard with SKIMS and her entire online persona.

Today is NOT one of those days. And not all creative talent is created equal.

SKIMS [IG] has pulled out all the stops in the new swimwear campaign shot by British fashion photographer Nick Knight [IG] founder and director of SHOWstudio.com. Knight is joined by stylist Carine Roitfeld [IG] the former EIC of Vogue Paris, founder of CR Fashion Book and its consulting agency.

WWD referred to Carine simply as an ELLE stylist, prompting AOC to investigate the writer’s own experience — or lack of it. We will be sure to highlight the bio of one of the most important women in the fashion industry for our young people, who don’t dig deeply.

Nick Knight and Carine Roitfeld together are as good as it gets, and we see the very visible results in these images.

Knight was the creative force behind the shoot, tasked with capturing the collection “in a style reminiscent of his classic and avant-garde fashion campaigns from the 2000s,” according to a press release from the brand.

AOC also raved about the Steven Klein ‘swimweat manifesto’ featuring Kim in the SKIMS June 2023 campaign. But the photography is very different in the two projects.
