The Los Angeles-based trio, who found fame with their reality TV show Keeping up with the Kardashians , have just announced that their fashion label, Kardashian Kollection, is to launch in the U.K this autumn, with high street chain Dorothy Perkins picked as the official stockist.
"We could not be more excited!" tweeted Kim this afternoon.
The range is currently sold in the US in department store chain Sears, and comprises denim, accessories, shoes and homeware with prices starting from a very reasonable £15 for a bikini top and around £30 for a miniskirt.
250 Dorothy Perkins stores nationwide and eight BHS shops will stock the range as part of the Kardashian's global gallop: 13 other countries including Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia will also be receiving Kardashian Kollection bundles by the truckload.
According to WWD , Arcadia boss Sir Philip Green, who owns Topshop as well as Dorothy Perkins and BHS, personally approved the partnership deal. He last spearheaded a collaboration with another and arguably more stylish K - Kate Moss.

WireImageDesigner Charlotte Ronson attends Love Heals at Luna Park on July 7, 2012 in Sagaponack, New York.Designer Charlotte Ronson has had quite the year having debuted both a beauty line for Sephora and a handbag collection in recent months. Ronson, who graduated from New York University in 1999, and launched her fashion business a year later, is lauded for her cool-girl personal style, celebrity following and for building a business that generated $15 million in revenue last year.We caught up with Ronson in the Hamptons at the annual Love Heals at Luna Farm benefit, which supports HIV/AIDs education, where Ronson was one of the hosts for the evening. As Ronson told us: “I have been involved in this charity for so long—over 10 years. It’s been a long time. It’s just such an important cause to me. My sister has DJed here in the past. We’ve been involved as a family for many years. It’s just important to spread awareness in any way that I can.”What are you working on this summer?"I’m getting ready for fashion week and my show that is coming up in September. I am working on my line I Heart Ronson for J.C. Penney. I have a really cute bathing suit line with Shoshanna [Lonstein Gruss]. It’s this really cute collaboration that I am also working on. And I have a bag line that is hitting stores in the fall. It’s been a busy summer."How far along is your Spring 2013 collection, which will hit the runway in September?"We are doing pretty well. We are starting to get our samples in, and when they start to come in it’s all about how you react to them and thinking forward to the show. It’s an exciting time. It’s all starting to come together."What advice would you give to aspiring fashion designers?"You really have to make sure this is your passion and that you are willing to work extremely hard to make it happen. Internships are important. I worked at Cynthia Rowley for a little bit, and I interned at Harper’s Bazaar. Take the time to figure out that this is what you want to do."Any summer style tips you can share?'I think it’s all about feeling good and adding a little bit of color. Everybody looks good wearing a little bit of color right now. And just looking healthy and natural. You don’t have to try so hard in the summer. Just throw on a flirty dress and espadrilles and you'll be ready to go."What about beauty tips? "My beauty line for Sephora is about being happy, natural, healthy, sun-kissed. I think beachy hair looks great year-round and then it is great to use a product that gives you that natural sun-kissed glow."What’s that item in your wardrobe you can’t live without? "I have drawers and drawers of T-shirts. I especially love vintage. The more worn in, the better."

A look from Raf Simons' debut as Creative Director of Christian Dior for the label's Fall 2012 Haute Couture collection. Raf Simons’ debut as Creative Director of Christian Dior, spearheading the label’s Fall 2012 haute couture collection, was one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year. Sharon Stone, Jennifer Lawrence and Marion Cotillard sat front row. So did just about every designer on the planet that matters—Alber Elbaz, Olivier Theyskens, L’Wren Scott, Riccardo Tisci, Diane von Furstenberg, Azzedine Alaïa and Marc Jacobs, among others.The show was held in a private house on Avenue d’Iena in the tony 11th arrondissement of Paris. Five salons in the mansion were each blanketed in a different kind of flower including white orchids, red roses, blue delphiniums, yellow goldenrods, and pink roses and mixed garden flowers (Christian Dior himself was a noted floral enthusiast). More than a million flowers were used decorate the space—something that impressed one of the toughest critics of them all, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who was overheard from her front-row perch saying, “Isn’t this amazing?”Since Raf Simons was announced as John Galliano’s replacement at Christian Dior this April, following a search that lasted more than a year, many wondered how his minimalist aesthetic would translate at Dior. His debut included looks ranging from somber black pantsuits to coat-dresses in cashmere to full skirted gowns truncated at the ankle, in a direct nod to Christian Dior’s “New Look.”Most of the New York fashion crowd had nothing but glowing things to say. Cathy Horyn, The New York Times fashion critic and longtime Raf Simons enthusiast, blogged, “In almost every one of the 54 outfits, in almost every detail, Mr. Simons made a connection to the first decade of the house, when Dior himself was at work. He then put those ideas—among them an architectural purity in construction, a preference for pockets, a sense of femininity but also ease—through his own filter.”Designer and CFDA President Diane von Furstenberg took to Twitter to say, “Raf Simons did a superb Dior show! Very Dior! Another talented Belgian!”Designer L’Wren Scott said, “Thought the show was just very next level Dior. New and exciting. Like all things Raf.” Designer Peter Som called the collection “gorgeous, modern, luxurious.”Marie Claire Fashion Director Nina Garcia said the collection is “couture with a modern twist.” Vogue Creative Director Grace Coddington told the AFP she "thought it was really beautiful. And my expectations are always very high.”Most of the fashion crowd was intent on looking forward, into the new Christian Dior era, but W magazine’s Fashion and Style Director Edward Enninful was one of the few reflecting on Christian Dior’s past.“Thinking of John Galliano today, “ he tweeted after the show. “Talk about setting the bar high.”
