Ken Carson Joins SKIMS’ Holiday Capsule—A Chaos-Star Wrapped in Cashmere
Ken Carson is stepping into the SKIMS universe, bringing his signature controlled chaos to the brand’s limited-edition Holiday capsule—and for MARVIN readers, it’s a full-circle moment. After fronting the cover of MARVIN Issue 16, the Atlanta disruptor is now extending that visual evolution into fashion’s current heat zone.
The campaign places him in a frosted, hyper-minimal world—half luxury lookbook, half late-night mood board—where plush knits, clean lines, and off-duty layers take center stage. It’s SKIMS at its most elevated, matching Carson’s energy with pieces that land somewhere between airport stealth mode and studio-night uniform.
For an artist who’s spent the past year bending the edges of rap, touring with kinetic unpredictability, and widening his cultural footprint far beyond the rage scene, the collaboration hits at the perfect temperature. It shows Carson not just as a sonic disruptor, but as a visual one—someone who can ease into the quiet luxury lane without losing his voltage.
By tapping one of rap’s most influential young figures—and a former MARVIN cover star—SKIMS positions its Holiday capsule right at the intersection of music, fashion, and internet mythology. It’s a soft collection with a sharp undercurrent, and Carson plays the role with an ease that feels both unexpected and inevitable.
