According to People, among the responsibilities of the 25-year-old TV star, who grew up loving fashion, is to introduce and work with up-and-coming creatives.

In August 2021, Italian fashion brand Liu Jo reportedly sued Jenner for $1.8 million.

Jenner has been immersed in the modeling world for years, and she is hopeful she could help creatives achieve their best potential under her leadership. She noted that the digital space is an essential platform for them.

Jenner gained prominence through "Keeping up with the Kardashians," a reality show she shared with sisters Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Kylie, as well as their "mom-ager" Kris.

The series launched the clan into stardom and also sparked controversies. Besides controversies that played out on the show, Jenner, who is in a relationship with NBA star Devin Booker, has her share of disputes in the real world.

In August 2021, Italian fashion brand Liu Jo reportedly sued Jenner for $1.8 million. According to Insider, the company filed its complaint at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The Capri-based company reportedly cited breach of contract, saying that Jenner only showed up once for their photoshoot. She was supposed to appear twice in the fashion shoot as stipulated in the contract.

However, The Society Management, representing Jenner, reportedly regarded the lawsuit as "without merit." They offered Liu Jo alternative dates for the photoshoot, but the agreement was forced to be delayed because of the pandemic.

While Jenner and her agency have yet to settle their differences with Liu Jo, the young socialite recently reached an agreement to pay the Fyre Festival organizers $90,000 after her involvement in the fraud music event.
