Vintage Lingerie, But Make It Swimwear - Kylie Jenner's Latest Collaboration Is About To Land.
Kylie Jenner is wearing hear creative director hat again and this time, she's taking on swimwear. Her fashion brand KHYhas teamed up with cult-favourite label Frankies Bikinis for a limited-edition capsule that's set to take over your feed (and suitcase). Launching July 16, the collaboration taps into vintage swim references and arrives with a mix of coquette lace, satin finishes, and sculpting push-up silhouettes, perfect for sun-soaked days and golden hour pics. The collection, called Cloud Cups, was co-designed by Kylie and Frankies founder Francesca Aiello, and blends the best of both brands: KHY's simple, clean aesthetic with Frankies' swim expertise and flirty prints. 'I've always loved Frankies Bikinis,' Jenner notes. 'We've incorporated so many fun prints - from polka dots to leopard - and the styles are so comfortable, it feels like they float on your skin while lifting and sculpting.' Her top pick? The Heavenly Satin top, complete with lace trim and a true vintage feel. Aiello describes the process as 'two girls dreaming up their perfect swim drawer,' and it shows. The standout styles include the padded Dolce, Cherish, and Heavenly Satin tops, plus the soft triangle Camila and a '90s-glam Allure cut in leopard satin. Bottoms range from classic string styles to fuller-coverage fits like the Clover. Fans of Frankies Bikinis will know that the brand is no stranger to buzzy collabs. It's previously teamed up with style heavyweights like Bella Hadid and Matilda Djerf, and the latest string (pun intended) to the brand's bow (pun intended) stretches beyond just swimear. There are a few exclusive dresses and separates on offer to match the vibe, just in case you want to bring the look to post-beach drinks, too. With polka dots officially claiming their spot as the It print of the season, and the push-up bikini having a serious resurgence, Kylie's timing is spot on. And if history (and hype) tells us anything, this drop won't stay in stock for long. KHY x Frankies Bikinis lands July 16 at 9am PT / 12pm ET on and and in select stores. Prices range from around £60 to £150, with sizes XXS to XXL. Renee Washington , Grazia's digital fashion and beauty writer, lives online.
