In October 2017, in Los Angeles, Kourtney Kardashian reached a pivotal point in her fashion trajectory with the launch of her first solo capsule collection for UK-based fast-fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing.

The 40-piece drop marked her initial independent collaboration outside of her sisters and introduced a clear personal point of view shaped by nightlife glamour, vintage references, and intentional styling.

Inspired by Studio 54 excess and ’70s Cher, the collection leaned into disco-era drama through sequined mini dresses, lace-trimmed bodycon silhouettes, satin jumpsuits, faux-fur coats in electric hues, and sharply tailored layers.

Yet it was the footwear that anchored the range and gave it staying power: glossy pointed-toe stilettos, lace-up boots, and streamlined ankle-strap sandals designed to sharpen silhouettes and ground high-impact looks.

Fronting the campaign herself, Kardashian styled the pieces with sleek hair, neutral makeup, and statement heels—reinforcing a principle that continues to define her approach to dressing.

When textures shimmer and silhouettes skim the body, shoes provide the structure, balance, and height that keep party fashion feeling deliberate rather than fleeting.

Backed by her hands-on involvement in the design process—something she credits to her early training in fashion and costume design in high school and college—the collaboration proved a commercial success, helping the Manchester-based brand strengthen its foothold in the U.S. market while cementing Kardashian’s credibility as a standalone fashion collaborator.

To mark the launch of the collection, Kardashian hosted an exclusive, celebrity-filled party on October 25, 2017, at Poppy in West Hollywood. The setting—one of Los Angeles’ most recognizable nightlife destinations—set the tone for a debut built around after-dark glamour, spectacle, and personal style.

Arriving in a black strappy sequined bodycon dress from her own line, Kardashian used the moment to demonstrate the collection’s intent in real time.

The slinky silhouette, defined by thin straps, a low neckline, and an open back, was paired with statement heels that sharpened the look and reinforced how the range was meant to be worn. Sleek hair pulled into a high ponytail and glossy neutral makeup kept the styling polished and deliberate.

With a live performance by P. Diddy, a custom pink “PLT by Kourtney” wrap bus, and a floral tunnel entrance, the launch blurred the line between fashion presentation and nightclub experience—underscoring how Kardashian positioned the collection not just as clothing, but as a fully realized party aesthetic.
