In July 2026, SKIMS opened its first permanent UK store, a 12,000‑sq‑ft flagship on London’s Regent Street. The shop, featuring the full product range and high‑profile design elements, followed a 2025 funding round that valued the brand at $5 billion and built on earlier flagship openings in Dubai.

A week later, in August 2026, SKIMS announced a partnership with Reliance Brands to bring the label to India. The agreement gives Reliance control of SKIMS’s physical and digital presence in the country, with the first stores slated for Delhi and Mumbai. The move extends the brand’s recent global rollout, which has included openings in London and Dubai and plans for further Asian markets such as Hong Kong and Seoul.
