Kylie Jenner knows how to rock a bikini, and she’s extending her reign over the industry even further. The 27-year-old KHY founder announced on Monday that she’s diving head-first into swimwear, partnering with fan favorite brand Frankies Bikinis to curate its debut push-up line.

Jenner dished all the details to ELLE, telling the publication, “I’ve been wearing [Frankies Bikinis] pieces for years, and always found the styles so flattering and comfortable. When it came to [Khy’s] first swim collaboration, teaming up with Francesca and Frankies Bikinis felt like the perfect fit.”

Calling the collection “a perfect mix of sweet and sexy” the launch on July 16 at 12 p.m. ET will feature some of the summer’s most on-trend patterns, such as polka dots and animal print. It will range in sizes XXS to 2XL and also promises limited edition dresses and sets.

But Jenner isn’t the only one swooning over the impending drop. Frankies Bikinis founder and creative director Francesca Aiello also shared her excitement for the collaboration. The 30-year-old has previously partnered with several other major names and brands including Bella Hadid, Matilda Djerf’s Djerf Avenue and Réalisation Par.

“Our first ever push-up collection,” Aiello penned to Instagram. “Teaming up with [Jenner] to really bring this concept to life make so much sense.” The entrepreneur called the incoming garments “the perfect vintage bombshell inspired pieces” as she debuted its leopard print bikini, as well as a navy and red spotted number on her feed.

Since its 2012 inception, the mother and daughter-founded company has been a staple at SI Swimsuit, sported by models and athletes Hailey Van Lith and Anna Hall in the brand’s most recent issue. Frankies Bikinis were also seen on Stassi Schroeder and Nicole Williams English at SI Swimsuit’s annual Swim Week runway show.

“It is so important for me to be a business owner and have a brand that people know is designed for all women. I am not designing specific styles that only flatter specific body types, I design styles that all women of all shapes and all sizes can wear and feel their most confident in,” Aiello told The Daily Front Row.

“I want Frankies Bikinis to be a destination for everyone to come and know without question that there is a bikini set or an apparel piece that gives them the feeling of ‘Wow, this was made for me,’” the entrepreneur declared.

As for Jenner, she left ELLE with a piece of advice before her collection goes live on Wednesday: “Choose pieces that truly make you feel good. I think that when you feel comfortable and supported, your confidence shines through.”
