In a recent turn of events that’s shaking the fashion world, Kylie Jenner, boasting an impressive 539 million social media followers, is finding herself at the center of a controversy surrounding her new clothing company, Khy. The 26-year-old reality star recently announced the launch of a line of five puffer jacket styles in cobalt blue, black, and stone shades, scheduled for release on November 15.

The real shocker? Allegations that she’s been copying her former brother-in-law Kanye ‘Ye’ West’s designs have set the internet on fire. Social media is buzzing, with fans and critics alike noting the striking resemblance between Kylie’s puffer jackets and Kanye’s iconic designs.
The evidence of this controversy unfolded in the comments section of her latest Instagram post. Several users accused Kylie of “stealing Kanye’s designs.” One passionate fan, Instagram user @vladimirkutchourkokov, wrote: “Everybody acting like Kanye didn’t invent this whole look.” Another user, @taxo, chimed in with a humorous jab, stating, “Now we know where all the Adidas/Yeezy unsold merchandise went.”

This accusation comes on the heels of Kanye West’s collaboration with Gap last year. He introduced the ‘Round Jacket,’ a remarkable piece that featured no seams, buttons, or zippers and came in blue, black, and red shades. Kanye famously rocked the red version of his voluminous puffer during the Donda listening event at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in 2021.

Considering these events, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Kylie Jenner decided to collaborate with West’s ‘ghost’ consultants, Sebastian Hunt and Dylan Richards of Entire Studios, for her second Khy drop. The duo is renowned for their “signature brightly-hued puffer jackets.” Kylie herself acknowledged the collaboration, sharing on her Instastory, “[They’re] one of my favorites.” The involvement of these designers only fuels the ongoing controversy.
But the drama doesn’t end there. Just three weeks prior, Kylie was under the spotlight for allegedly copying designer Betsy Johnson for her first Khy drop, which featured numerous black pleather looks. The collaboration involved Namilia founders Nan Li and Emilia Pfohl, but Betsy Johnson claimed she had shared the concept and language with Kylie’s team six months prior.

Despite the allegations, Kylie hasn’t publicly addressed these claims of copying. Her Khy mission statement, however, emphasizes the brand’s aim to “redefine the modern wardrobe by offering edited collections that seamlessly blend luxury with everyday style.” It suggests that Khy is all about collaborations with iconic brands and designers to make high fashion accessible to everyone.
While navigating this fashion controversy, Kylie Jenner is also keeping busy with her role as an executive producer and star in the fourth season of ‘The Kardashians,’ a 10-episode series airing on Hulu. The show triumphantly won the Best Docu-Reality Series trophy at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards, highlighting the ongoing success and influence of the Kardashian family in the entertainment industry.
The accusations and controversies surrounding Kylie’s fashion choices have certainly fueled discussions across social media platforms, making this a hot topic among fans and fashion enthusiasts. The ongoing debate raises questions about inspiration versus imitation in the fashion world and keeps fans eagerly waiting for Kylie’s next move. Will she address the allegations, or will this drama continue to unfold? Stay tuned for more updates on this fiery fashion showdown!
