FANS have mixed reactions after Kylie Jenner was accused of stealing designs for her Khy clothing line from a former stylist.
Fashion designer Jessica Johansen-Bell accused the Kylie Cosmetics founder on TikTok of taking her designs.

In the nearly two-minute video, the Johansen founder launched a collection about four years ago, which she claimed is similar to the latest collection by the Khy clothing brand.
After friends and family members asked if she was collaborating with The Kardashians star after seeing the wardrobe, the designer claimed she had “dressed Kylie before” and assumed they were referring to “old stuff.”
The Byron Baes star shared images and compared Johansen’s twisted shoulder dresses to Khy’s one-shoulder twist dresses.
“Guys, am I tripping? Or did Kylie Jenner rip off my entire collection?” Jessica said.
“So I reached out to her team, and they reached back pretty quickly. And they said: ‘We developed these designs through our team’s hard work and innovation.'”
“If you look up the meaning of innovation, it means a new idea. You guys are an inspiration,” she concluded.
Kylie’s reps had no comment to The U.S. Sun.
THE COMMENTS
In the comments section, critics and fans argued whether the Khy dresses looked identical to Johansen’s.

“I legit thought it was Johansen when I first saw it,” one critic said.
“You’re tripping! Johansen’s has extremely generic designs. There are even dupes that have been around for ages,” a Khy supporter added.
“Kylie is ripping people off and putting her name on it,” another critic ranted.
“They look nothing alike,” a Khy supporter wrote.
“You did not come up with these designs either. Get over yourself, Jessica,” a commentator chimed.
In late February, the Khy founder promoted her one-shoulder suede minidress in a behind-the-scenes shot from her photo shoot.
PAST ACCUSATIONS
This is not the only time the makeup mogul has been accused of stealing designs for her clothing line.
Fashion Designer Betsy Johnson slammed the former E! star for taking her ideas and profiting off them with her Khy fashion range.
“We emailed Kylie and all her team @products.ltd concept and language and a line sheet 6 MONTHS AGO,” the designer for Products Ltd. wrote in an Instagram Story.
“INTERESTING CONCEPT KYLIE:…INTERESTING.”
“Thanks for the co-sign. F**k your support.”
Betsy also posted a spreadsheet containing information about her student loan repayment and claimed she was due £48,294.43.
“While I stare @ my student debt. “Worked my a** off for this. Like so many other working-class kids who bust their a** for the expertise they weren’t born into to realize their ideas,” she complained.
Betsy added several middle finger emojis to the post.
The TV personality has not responded to Betsy’s accusations.
