Kim Kardashian Lashes Out At Fashion Companies Ripping Off Designers, Fashion Nova Responds

Kim Kardashian West has indirectly signaled out Fashion Nova for pinching a designer’s idea after she wore it less than two days ago. On Sunday, Kardashian West shared on her Instagram Story how she was honored to wear designer Manfred Thierry Mugler 1998 archive dress to the Hollywood Beauty Awards.

Before Kardashian West could take the dress off, Fashion Nova had promoted they had a similar dress with the same style available for purchase on their website.

The beauty entrepreneur made it clear she was dissatisfied via her social media platforms. She took to Instagram and Twitter to share:

It’s devastating to see these fashion companies rip off designs that have taken the blood, sweat and tears of true designers who have put their all into their own original ideas.

I’ve watched these companies profit off my husband’s work for years and now that it’s also affecting designers who have been so generous to give me access to their beautiful works, I can no longer sit silent.

Only two days ago, I was privileged enough to wear a one-of-a-kind vintage Mugler dress and in less than 24 hours it was knocked off and thrown up on a site – but it’s not for sale. You have to sign up for a waitlist because the dress hasn’t even been made to sell yet.

My relationships with designers are very important to me. It’s taken me over a decade to build them and I have a huge amount of respect for the amount of work that they put into bringing their ideas to life.

This is a way to get people to sign up for their mailing list and make people believe there is some kind of relationship between me and this fashion site. There is not.

I often plan for weeks, sometimes months, and even a year in advance, and I’m grateful for every fashion moment those designers and their dresses have helped me create.

So, as always, don’t believe everything you read and see online. I don’t have any relationships with these sites. I’m not leaking my looks to anyone, and I don’t support what these companies are doing.
