Kylie Jenner Launches New Luxury Brand, Inside The MAD Ball 2023, Glossier Gets The TV Treatment, Hill House Home x Wicked, And More!

Khy is koming

Reality starlet turned billionaire mogul Kylie Jenner has teased the launch of Khy with a new Instagram account and website. Sharing a mysterious image of the back of an oversized belted leather coat, the mom-of-two prompted her 399 million followers to sign up for information about a forthcoming launch. The 26-year-old was rumored to be starting a fashion line with powerhouse couple Emma and Jens Grede, who are behind Khloe and Kim Kardashian’s respective ventures Good American and Skims (Emma Grede is also a partner on Kris Jenner’s home brand, Safely). While early reports that the business would mimic a Shein or similar fast fashion model, insiders told Page Six that the brand will instead be luxury-focused. It’s worth noting that Jenner sold 51% of her cosmetics and skincare company Kylie Cosmetics, famous for its viral lip kits, to Coty for $600 million back in 2019. In the first hour since sharing the outfit post in the same coat to her own feed, the image racked up over one million likes.

Marisa Meltzer’s Glossier book gets picked up for TV 

Amazon MGM Studios has snapped up the rights to Glossy, the book from journalist and author Marisa Meltzer which delves into the stratospheric rise of Glossier. The New York Times best seller, which came out last month, explores the mass millennial appeal of the beauty blog-turned-disruptive skincare and cosmetics company started by Emily Weiss. Described as a “a compulsively readable narrative of beauty, business, privilege, and mogul-dom,” it’s rumored that Lindsey Anderson Beer and her production company LAB Brew are attached to produce a series, while no show runner has been named yet, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
