Skims expands to four stores in Mexico
Published
January 8, 2026
Mexico remains a key market for Skims as it expands internationally, with the brand now operating four stores. Notably, the local operation, run by Retail Fashion Group, a subsidiary of Grupo Sordo Madaleno, makes Mexico the only Latin American market where the brand maintains both a physical and digital presence.
The most recent opening took place in Los Cabos, inside the Animal Village shopping centre, which aims to establish itself as a new fashion and luxury destination in the region. This location joins the stores previously opened at Artz Pedregal and Antara in Mexico City, as well as at Andares in Guadalajara.
In the US, Skims operates around 20 stores and recently opened its first store in Dubai, marking further progress in its shift towards a model with a larger physical footprint. The company has reiterated that this approach will be a priority in the coming years, alongside the expansion of its portfolio of categories.
Co-founded in 2019 by Kim Kardashian together with Jens and Emma Grede, the brand has built its brand positioning on an inclusive sizing approach and a product offering centred on shapewear, underwear and minimalist basics.
Its recent growth has been underpinned by a significant capital injection: in November it reported securing $225 million in new funding, lifting its valuation to $5 billion.
According to the company, the funds will be used to expand its shapewear, sportswear, and clothing lines, as well as to strengthen its retail presence and accelerate its international expansion.

The transition marks the formal handover of executive leadership to President and CEO Keun-Chang (Kevin) Yoon, reinforcing management continuity while preserving the founder’s long-term strategic vision.
Misto Holdings founder Gene Yoon has transitioned to honorary chairman in a planned leadership succession, formally handing executive control to president and CEO Kevin Yoon.
The founder, who expanded the group through the FILA global trademark acquisition and the takeover of Acushnet, will continue guiding long-term strategy as the rebranded Misto focuses on governance and sustainable growth.
Gene Yoon founded the business that would become Misto Holdings in the early 1990s, introducing the FILA brand to the Korean market and later leading a series of transformative transactions. In 2007, the company acquired the global FILA trademark rights through a leveraged buyout, followed by the 2011 acquisition of Acushnet Company, owner of the Titleist and FootJoy brands. The transaction was among the largest cross-border deals in Korea’s consumer sector at the time and significantly expanded the group’s global footprint.
Under his leadership, the company evolved into a multi-brand global portfolio spanning sportswear, golf equipment and apparel, generating approximately USD 3.08 billion in annual revenue.
As Honorary Chairman, Gene Yoon will remain closely engaged with the company, providing guidance on long-term strategy and global portfolio development while supporting management from a broader strategic perspective.
The leadership transition marks a new chapter under President and CEO Kevin Yoon, who has spent nearly two decades in senior roles across the group’s global operations, building deep operational and strategic expertise.
The company’s 2025 rebranding to “Misto” underscores its evolution into a global brand house focused on disciplined capital allocation, enhanced shareholder returns and sustainable long-term growth.
“Building on the founder’s legacy, our priority is to expand our global portfolio, strengthen governance and deliver sustainable value creation,” said Kevin Yoon, President and CEO of Misto Holdings.
