Two years ago, Kylie Jenner fell in love with an Atlein ruched dress while shooting for Instagram. It wasn’t just a passing fancy; it marked the beginning of a special connection between the reality star and the brand’s designer, Antonin Tron.
Now, Jenner is taking that connection to the next level with a new collaboration for her clothing label, Khy. Jenner’s admiration for Tron’s signature draping and layering is evident in this collection, which she describes as a perfect blend of confidence and comfort.
Khy, launched last year, is committed to offering high-fashion silhouettes at affordable prices. This collaboration, dubbed Drop 12, perfectly embodies that philosophy. Featuring draped jersey tops, bottoms, and dresses, the collection offers prices ranging from $88 to $198.
Jenner’s vision for the collaboration was clear: she wanted to make Tron’s designs even more wearable and accessible. They drew inspiration from Atlein’s archives, with pieces like the plunging ruched midi dress being a modern interpretation of a classic Atlein style.
While Jenner admired Tron’s approach to draping, Tron was equally impressed by Jenner’s refined design sensibilities. The collaboration was a harmonious blend of their respective creative visions.
The color palette, inspired by “fall in California,” reflects a Parisian-meets-Los Angeles vibe. The collection showcases shades of shell, gold, cherry, citron, blue, and black, offering a range of colors for every mood and style.
The collaboration is not just about showcasing individual styles; it’s about pushing boundaries. Jenner and Tron encourage mixing and matching bold hues, like cherry and citron, to create unexpected and exciting looks.
Jenner is already embracing the collection’s versatility, incorporating pieces into her everyday style. She’s particularly fond of the pants, cutout tanks, and the asymmetrical ruche dress, a nod to the original dress that sparked her love for Atlein.
Tron’s ultimate goal for the collection is to empower women and make them feel confident and comfortable. Jenner’s initial connection with Atlein exemplifies that feeling perfectly.
This isn’t the first time Jenner has collaborated with emerging designers. She’s previously partnered with Entire Studios and Natasha Zinko, demonstrating her commitment to supporting creative talent.
With Khy celebrating its first anniversary in November, Jenner promises more exciting collaborations in the future. She’s committed to working with brands that share her vision and inspire her personally. The prospect of offering these collaborations to her customers is a dream come true.
