Apparently, Kim Kardashian is not sparing any marketing expenses to make SKIMS’ first menswear line a roaring success.
Kicking off its first men’s category with the all-star campaign is remarkable. With a promise to re-design men’s comfort, the campaign features Brazilian footballer Neymar, NFL powerhouse Nick Bosa, and NBA talent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Ever since its launch in 2019, Kim’s brand has been holding its resilient promise of creating ultra-comfortable SKIMS bodysuits, underwear, loungewear, and shapewear. Thus, SKIMS top the list in creating super comfy wear for your everyday routine.
But one must be thinking of why this expansion into the menswear space. Interestingly, this reinforcing of a new category is based on the fact that 10% of the existing customers are men. Further, its audience demographics show an 18.91% male audience. Thus, it signifies that this particular group is showing interest in the brand’s existing product offerings. By considering this statistic, the brand tries to capitalize on this particular group of consumers.
SKIMS Co-Founder and Creative Director, Kim Kardashian, said: “To have an icon like Neymar Jr be the face of our launch campaign, along with NBA All-Star, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and NFL’s top defensive player Nick Bosa, I think speaks volumes to the way the brand has evolved into becoming a brand that can provide comfort for all audiences, not just for women.”
