The Insta queen / reality TV star / business mogul is copping a hefty amount of flak for her most recent fashion foray: a line of camo clothing that looks a helluva lot like stuff by indie label Plugged NYC.

The founder of Plugged NYC, Tizita Balemlay, has taken to Instagram and Twitter to spread the shade, and the comparisons are pretty damning:

When you really Pablo… I am the influence *drops mic. Copy & Paste down to the shoes I used on my models ???? The kardashains will take your nigga & brand I stamp lmfaooo #WeAreTheCulture

?? Them: Did you invent Camo? Me: Nope, but I sure as hell brought it back to life and pushed the two piece Camo movement. I can’t remember one brand that sold matching Camo two pieces that weren’t generic tees with cargo for ladies before my brand, unless it was custom. But hey… money is power smh I started my brand with pennies funny how someone can just take a whole movement bc of how much money and power they have.

And oh yeah, there’s the small matter of the fact that Kylie has apparently ordered stuff from Plugged NYC before.

That is, apparently, the email proof of Kylie’s orders. Yikesssss.

Wait she really just ordered your stuff and copied it? Damn! Keep dropping the receipts pic.twitter.com/4D9vATQcE8

Of course, camo bikinis have been around since at least Destiny’s Child, so it’s pretty hard to prove infringement of copyright or IP on this one. Still… looks bad, Kylie. Looks pretty, pretty bad.
