The Kim Kardashian-founded brand hosted its activation, the Team USA Welcome Experience, in Paris on Friday, where athletes and sports enthusiasts were able to get sleepwear, underwear and loungewear items from Skims and Team USA’s most recent collaboration.

The Welcome Experience was decorated with oversized ceremony medals hanging above podiums, with the Skims x Team USA capsule collection adorned on Olympic and Paralympic mannequins.
