Skims Taps Ami Colé Founder Diarrha N’Diaye to Lead New Beauty and Fragrance Division

The appointment signals a push toward inclusive, skin-first products connected to a new SKIMS beauty platform.

Overview

  • Diarrha N’Diaye has been named executive vice president of beauty and fragrance to lead product development and brand strategy for SKIMS Beauty.
  • Her role begins Nov. 3 following the closure of her inclusive makeup brand Ami Colé earlier this year, after earlier stints at Glossier and L’Oréal.
  • Kim Kardashian and CEO Jens Grede say the vision centers on a community-first, inclusive offering that feels like a "second skin."
  • The move follows SKIMS’ March buyback of SKKN by Kim from Coty, consolidating Kardashian’s beauty assets under the SKIMS umbrella.
  • No launch date has been announced for SKIMS Beauty, with industry reporting suggesting a possible 2026 rollout.
