Management said it plans to use the funds to develop new products, enter new categories and open company-owned shops. Skims is set to break $750 million in net sales this year, according to Chief Executive Officer Jens Grede.

Grede said in an interview in June that Skims plans to aggressively expand its retail network, with its first permanent store set to debut in Los Angeles next year.
