Kylie Jenner is back in swim mode. Her fashion label KHY has reunited with Frankies Bikinis for Fever Dream, a new swimwear capsule co-designed with Frankies founder Francesca Aiello. The collection launches July 14 at 9 a.m. PT through KHY and Frankies Bikinis.
The second KHY x Frankies Bikinis collaboration arrives with a sharper point of view than a standard summer drop. It is glossy, nostalgic and unmistakably Los Angeles, pulling from vintage swimwear, Old Hollywood glamour and the kind of poolside styling that has long fueled Jenner’s visual language.
A Los Angeles Fantasy, Cut for Summer
Fever Dream builds on the success of the first KHY x Frankies Bikinis release, while giving the partnership a warmer, more cinematic feel. Jenner and Aiello drew from their shared hometown of Los Angeles, looking to personal vintage references and the easy drama of California dressing.
The mood sits somewhere between Malibu hillside and Hollywood screen test. The campaign, photographed by Daniel Saxon, places Jenner in sunlit interiors and water-soaked scenes that feel polished without losing the heat of a summer swim story.
Inside the Collection
Frankies Bikinis’ Cloud Cups return in new colors and prints, including the Cherish and Camila tops. The collection also includes string triangle tops, cheeky bottoms, low-waisted swim shorts and one-pieces, giving the capsule a full resort wardrobe feel rather than a simple bikini release.
The prints carry much of the attitude. Leopard, cobra and camo appear alongside soft pink, black and chrome-accented finishes. Ruched details and sculpted shapes keep the silhouettes feminine, while the bolder patterns give the line its editorial edge.
Why This Collaboration Works
KHY has been most compelling when Jenner treats the brand as a curated fashion platform. Pairing with Frankies Bikinis gives the line real swimwear credibility, while Frankies gains the global reach and cultural heat that Jenner brings to a launch.
Aiello’s brand has long understood the California bikini as both garment and lifestyle signal. With KHY, that language gets amplified into a broader fashion moment, built for vacation wardrobes, social feeds and the increasingly blurred line between swimwear and ready-to-wear.
The Pursuitist Take
Fever Dream has the right summer ingredients: flattering cuts, vintage references, bold prints and a campaign that sells the fantasy cleanly. It feels made for Malibu, St. Barts, Mykonos or the Amalfi Coast, but still casual enough for a long weekend by the pool.
For Jenner, the collection continues KHY’s move into sharper, collaboration-led fashion. For Frankies Bikinis, it reinforces the brand’s position as one of the defining names in contemporary California swim. For shoppers, it is a polished, photogenic resort drop arriving exactly when summer dressing starts to get serious.
