The brand’s website states that it will offer “edited collections that seamlessly blend luxury with everyday style,” to provide “access to incredible fashion for everyone.”
Jenner was recently accused of copying designer Betsy Johnson’s ideas for her new clothing line Khy.
Johnson – not to be confused with American fashion icon Betsey Johnson – claims the concepts were copied from her label Products.
Johnson took to Instagram to blast Jenner, writing: ‘We emailed Kylie and her entire team @products.ltd, concept and language and a control scheme, 6 MONTHS AGO,
‘INTERESTING CONCEPT KYLIE:…INTERESTING. Thanks for co-signing… F**k your support.”
Johnson also took a swipe at Jenner’s privileged upbringing when she shared a screenshot of her current £50,000 ($60,000) student debt, writing: ‘As I stare at my student debt.
‘I worked my butt off for this. Just like so many other working-class children who are working hard for the expertise in which they were not born to realize their ideas.’

Jenner collaborated with the founders of independent label Namilia, Nan Li and Emilia Pfohl, for Khy’s first collection, with Johnson decrying both Jenner and Namilia’s alleged copying of her ideas as a ‘trash move’.
Sources familiar with Jenner’s brand told DailyMail.com that she “looks forward to Khy continuing to collaborate with designers and brands, as she did with her first collection with European brand Namilia – and creating beautiful, original designs with the aesthetic of that brand to more people.’
