SKIMS × DOECHII · Concept Retail / Brand Experience

HAIR AS A SECOND SKIN.

01 / THE IDEA

SKIMS has built a visual language around the body: tonal, intimate and essential. ROOTS extends that language upward.

A conceptual SKIMS × Doechii braiding-hair collaboration spanning product and retail design. The collection translates SKIMS’ tonal palette into braiding hair, positioning hair as another layer worn on the body: expressive, transformative and personal. The pop-up brings the collection into a physical experience, extending the collaboration from product and packaging to space.

BEAUTY + FASHION / EXPRESSION THROUGH HAIR

COLOR PALETTE

Rooted in SKIMS’ signature neutrals, the palette introduces deeper, expressive tones inspired by Doechii’s creative world and her use of hair as a form of self-expression.

DOECHII EDITION

EGRET

ONE SHADE OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM.

Inspired by the albino alligator of Alligator Bites Never Heal, EGRET breaks from the collection’s natural spectrum — a rare absence of pigment reimagined as its defining shade.

PRODUCT LANGUAGE

The collection carries the visual language of the concept into every physical detail. Eyeshine, Egret and Diesel move from the wider campaign palette into the packaging and product system, while a translucent alligator texture wraps the packaging, translating Doechii’s swamp-inspired world into something tactile, collectible and distinctly SKIMS.
