Weeks after Fendi broke the internet with their Versace collaboration, the Italian fashion house unveiled another fashion mash-up, this time with Kim Kardashian West's solution-wear brand SKIMS.

The unlikely pairing joined forces for an intriguing collection, which promptly broke the internet and soon sold out. Now, Kim Kardashian has announced a special, second release of best-selling styles from Drop 1.

Here is everything we know about it so far:

When and where can I buy the Fendi x SKIMS collaboration?

The Fendi x SKIMS Drop 2 collection is set to be released on Friday December 10 at 9am PT (the equivalent to 5pm UK time) via the website.

The surprise second release promises to include the best-selling styles from Drop 1: the logo-printed bodysuits and underwear. This is the final chance to own a piece of the ground-breaking collaboration between the brands.

What does the Fendi x SKIMS collaboration look like?

Thankfully, we already have a pretty clear picture of what the collection is set to include via both the brands' and Kardashian's Instagram accounts.

Featuring the iconic hybrid logo, the collaboration houses all the shapewear we know and love from SKIMS, with a side of hosiery and other form-fitting pieces.

The Fendi x Skims team also released a 30 second teaser video, directed by Marcel Wepper, further showing off the collection.

Starring Kardashian in a pink velour crop top and leggings the mogul was joined by models Precious Lee, Tianna St. Louis, Jessie Li, and Grace Valentine all in pink, orange and white ensembles from the drop.

'The innovation in fabrics and fit typical to SKIMS paired with the luxury and quality of Fendi may feel unexpected to some people, but the similarities between our creative vision and goals are so closely aligned,' notes Kardashian West.

'It’s that tension that excites me.'

Is the Fendi X SKIMS collaboration size inclusive?

Just like Drop 1, this new collection will honour SKIMS' long-held commitment to size-inclusivity, with promotional imagery showing plus-size models in the pieces.

'My Fendi is about creating something for every woman, every different shape – and that’s something at the heart of SKIMS too,' explains Kim Jones, Artistic Director of Fendi Womenswear and Couture.

'Kim Kardashian West is doing a lot to celebrate inclusivity-including her admirable work with social justice in America- and as a hard-working woman with a family, she is constantly striving to do her best. These values are something to celebrate.'

How much are the pieces in the Fendi X SKIMS collaboration?

Prices for the collection have not been released but are most likely to mirror those of Drop 1, ranging roughly between £90-£300.

'I can't wait for you to feel these fabrics', the mogul shared, 'so much of it is reversible'.

According to the official press release, it appears Jones' friends' anticipation of a SKIMS collection was what catalysed the concept for the fashion house leader.

'The idea for the collaboration came about when my team and I were sitting around a table at the studio in Rome,' explains Jones.

'Suddenly, all the women went silent and started looking at their phones. I didn’t know what was going on, but they were waiting for the launch of the new SKIMS collection. It was then that I thought: let’s do something together.'
