“I’ve been wearing Gia Borghini for years, so this collaboration felt completely natural,” Kylie Jenner shared.

Not sure which pieces to choose from this new release? These three designs are the highlights worth watching.
1. A minimalist everyday pick: Studio Thong sandals
Made for slipping on whenever you head out, the Studio Thong uses pared-back lines to capture that relaxed late-summer, early-fall feel. Free of unnecessary embellishment, these thong sandals strike just the right balance in their silhouette and come in versatile black leather or cool-toned, gleaming Metallic Chrome. Priced at US$ 350 (about HK$ 2,730 / NT$ 11,200), they’re a great match for tailored wide-leg pants or a minimalist maxi dress, giving any look a relaxed feel with little effort.
2. An architectural silhouette: Muse Thong Wedge sandals
If you already have plenty of flats in your shoe closet, the Muse Thong Wedge is a secret weapon for changing up your look. Its sculptural wedge heel makes the shoe feel like a three-dimensional work of art, while remaining stable and comfortable to walk in. Along with classic black and metallic options, this style also comes in soft, plush Chocolate Pony, priced from US$ 370 to US$ 390 (about HK$ 2,880 / NT$ 11,840 and up). Its strong visual impact can easily carry a range of evening looks.
3. Y2K retro appeal: Icon Sandal strappy heels
Inspired by Y2K style, the Icon Sandal is undoubtedly the most party-ready style in the collection. Its structured crisscross straps and metal buckle details flatter the legs, creating a look that’s alluring and powerful. Priced at US$ 390 (about HK$ 3,040 / NT$ 12,480), these heels come in white leather and Metallic Chrome. Put them on, and even a simple slip dress can easily make you the center of attention at a party.
It reins in what might otherwise feel like hard-to-wear avant-garde style into an everyday, walkable silhouette. The full collection is now available on Khy’s official website. If you’re interested, don’t wait too long: given the buzz around it, popular sizes could sell out at any time.
