Kim Kardashian West's SKIMS is stepping into luxury fashion through a new collaboration with Fendi.

On Monday, The Wall Street Journal announced that Fendi x SKIMS, an "upscale ready-to-wear and shapewear" collection, will be available on November 9.

Kardashian West and Fendi's artistic director of womenswear and couture Kim Jones designed the capsule collection together, as Fendi wrote on Instagram.

The Fendi x SKIMS line combines the styles of the two brands, blending SKIMS' signature minimalism and comfort with the high-fashion appeal of Fendi, as The Journal reported.

The collection will include some items that are familiar to SKIMS fans, like shapewear and knit loungewear.

But it will also feature swimwear and dresses, and the price tags will be much higher than SKIMS' standalone pieces.

For instance, the Fendi x SKIMS collection includes $1,100 leggings, a $2,950 puffer jacket, and a $4,200 dress, as The Journal noted.

Kardashian West shared photos of herself wearing items of the collection on Monday on Instagram, which featured multiple garments that had both Fendi and SKIMS logos on them.

"Introducing FENDI x SKIMS - a first of its kind collaboration that unites the luxury of @Fendi with the innovation of @SKIMS," Kardashian West captioned her post.

The Journal reports that Kardashian West was heavily involved in the development of the capsule collection, even serving as the fit-model for the line.

"I really like to be a fit model … I need to feel it," Kardashian West told The Journal. "I probably do so much more work than people assume, that might not even be necessary at this point. But I do it."

Kardashian West also said to The Journal that she hopes SKIMS, which is valued at over $1 billion, can become a larger conglomerate, but she's focusing on the here and now.

"I'm just like, this is my vision. This is what I want to get done," she told The Journal. "If it turns into this huge beauty conglomerate? Oh, my God; that's so amazing! Obviously, it's everyone's goal. You want it to be as amazing and huge as possible."

A representative for SKIMS did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
