Rocky Barnes is adding a latest item to her growing résumé.
The model, designer, fashion influencer, investor and mother is teaming up with lifestyle brand Skatie for a limited-edition collaboration, which Barnes helped codesign.
“I wore my Skatie jumpsuits before, during and after each of my pregnancies. I even have been hooked ever since,” Barnes told WWD exclusively.
“When Skatie brought up the thought to do a collab together it gave the impression of an ideal match,” she continued. “Along with being a fan of the brand, I like their dedication to sustainability, the team of strong women behind the brand and the proven fact that Skatie was a fellow working mom doing all of it,” Barnes explained, referring to latest mom and founder Skatie Noyes. “I’m so happy with the gathering we’ve created together.”
Noyes was equally enamored with Barnes.
“We selected to partner with Rocky because her elevated sense of fashion and taste level is unmatched,” said Noyes, who helped launch the Venice, California-based lively lifestyle brand in 2016. “For years, now we have been watching her style our pieces. I feel that her followers and our customers are similar of their love of quality and timeless style. With this collaboration, we were excited to create exactly that. Beyond that, we’re so excited to point out those who you don’t have to compromise style for sustainability.”
Mandi Glynn, Skatie’s other cofounder, added: “I even have been following Rocky since before we began the brand and I even have at all times loved her style. She has been an organic fan of the brand since we began and doing a [collaboration] along with her has been a goal of ours for some time. I like watching the best way she takes our pieces and creates so many elevated looks with them and the best way she has styled the pieces each during her pregnancy and while not pregnant since it really shows the flexibility. It has been so fun to look at this collaboration come to life.”
The Rocky Barnes x Skatie collection includes activewear and swimwear across men’s, women’s and kids’s, along with loungewear for ladies, with 102 pieces in total.
The gathering ranges in price from $50 to $150 and might be available starting Dec. 8 at skatie.com. Sizes run XS to XL in women’s, small to XL in men’s and 1 in toddler to size 7/8 in children’s.
Barnes, who has greater than 3 million followers on Instagram, also has her own apparel brand called The Vibrant Side. In 2021, she became an investor in shopping platform Qatch. As well as, she partnered with Bloomingdale’s in 2021 to curate the department store’s rotating holiday carousel.
