Kylie Jenner‘s new clothing line, Khy, made $1million in sales within its first hour after launch.
The 26-year-old who launched her new clothing line this week will be adding to her billionaire fortune as her brand sold out of its faux leather trench, gloves and mini dress lines People reported.
‘The Khy trench & long sleeve mini sold out. Thank you thank you for all the love on Khy,’ she announced on social media.
She invited fans to ‘shop the rest of the first Khy drop now before it’s too late. I can’t wait for you to experience this collection.
The first drop – in collaboration with Namilia – featured 12 sleek, black pieces ranging in price from $48 to $198.

The brand website indicates it will offer ‘edited collections that seamlessly blend luxury with everyday style,’ to deliver ‘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.
Taking to Instagram to blast Jenner, Johnson wrote: ‘We emailed Kylie and all her team @products.ltd concept and language and a line sheet 6 MONTHS AGO,
‘INTERESTING CONCEPT KYLIE:… INTERESTING. Thanks for the co-sign … F**k your support.’
Johnson also took a swipe at Jenner’s privileged upbringing as she shared a screengrab of her current £50,000 ($60,000) student debt and penned: ‘While I stare @ my student debt.
‘Worked my ass off for this. Like so many other working class kids who bust their ass for expertise they weren’t born into to realise their ideas.’

Jenner partnered with independent label Namilia’s founders Nan Li and Emilia Pfohl for Khy’s first collection, with Johnson slamming 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 is ‘looking forward to continuing to partner Khy with designers and brands like she did with her first collection with European brand Namilia – and bringing beautiful original designs with that brand’s aesthetic to more people.’
DailyMail.com has contacted Jenner’s representative for comment.

Jenner recently accepted an Innovator award from the Wall Street Journal magazine.
Her long, dark hair was styled in loose waves. She wore natural looking makeup and accessorized with gold earrings.
‘I’ve always loved beauty and fashion,’ she said as she accepted the honor.

‘Marty and I worked together for the first time this year,’ the Dune star said as he introduced the legendary director, ‘ not on the sprawling epic America western Killers of the Flower Moon.’
