Skims, the cultural powerhouse co-founded by Kim Kardashian, has announced a headline partnership with League One Volleyball (LOVB), stepping in as the official loungewear, intimates, and sleepwear partner for the U.S. women’s professional volleyball league.
This isn’t just about apparel. It’s a calculated move into the fast-rising space of women’s sport — and a sign of how fashion, lifestyle, and athletic identity are increasingly converging.
Under the partnership, Skims will feature across LOVB’s season-long activities — from athlete-led campaigns and league-wide activations to brand visibility on digital platforms, broadcasts, and community events. The collaboration extends well beyond branding: it aims to embed Skims into the very ecosystem that LOVB is building — from grassroots to pro.
For Kim Kardashian, this deal aligns with a broader ambition: “to support a culture of confidence, empowerment, and storytelling” across all levels of the game. It reflects the brand’s evolution from a product-first company to a cultural player — using its influence to shape narratives that go beyond the runway.
Volleyball, particularly in the U.S., has quietly become the most played team sport among girls — a trend catalyzed by LOVB’s grassroots model and the upcoming LA28 Olympics. The sport is undergoing a transformation, and Skims is choosing to back it now, before the commercial wave fully crests.
From LOVB’s side, the partnership is equally strategic. Chief Business Officer Michelle McGoldrick noted that Skims’ commitment to female empowerment mirrors the league’s mission to elevate women athletes, build household names, and grow the sport from the ground up.
This isn’t Skims’ first foray into high-end or lifestyle-driven partnerships. Earlier this year, the brand also collaborated with Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli — further signaling its intent to operate at the intersection of luxury, sport, and cultural capital.
In essence: Skims isn’t just selling comfort. It’s selling belonging — and volleyball, with its growing visibility and community-driven ethos, offers a powerful platform for that narrative.
As women’s sports continue to evolve into premium cultural and commercial assets, this type of partnership marks the direction forward: where fashion doesn’t just follow the game — it helps define its future.
