This indie designer is claiming Khloé Kardashian copied her work
An independent clothing designer has accused Khloé Kardashian of copying her work.
Last Friday, Khloé tweeted a video, featuring a number of well known faces supporting some of the stars Good American looks.
I always have the BEST time on set with my #GOODSQUAD! How many beautiful, kickass ladies can you spot in my @goodamerican campaign video? pic.twitter.com/JlkXFgPDuN

However, one Twitter user was less than pleased with what she saw. In response to the video, Destiney Bleu, the brains behind dbleudazzled, a brand that specialises in custom crystallised lingerie and swimwear, had this to say:
When someone buys 1 of everything on your site, has you make them custom @dbleudazzled work, never posts it or wears it, then copies it. https://t.co/hylp6fcOdh

Destiney argues that some of the designs seen in the video bare a striking resemblance to the pieces seen on her Instagram account.
And we have to admit, she's got a point.
Destiney revealed that Khloé had purchased clothing from her in December of last year, but thought she was planning to wear it to the NBA finals.
These purchases were made in December, I thought she was holding out to wear for NBA Finals. Nope. It was all being sent away to copy.

Although some fans were determined to defend the Kardashian sister, Destiney received an overwhelming about of support following her claim.
This is super foul. We need an explanation @KhloeKardashian. This is a straight rip off. You should have just paid Destiney & gave credit. https://t.co/HUikWp5K2b

Destiney expressed her feelings about the situation in a series of tweets:
"I had stylists friends working on the Good American set and they told me they were shook when they saw her black x nude @dbleudazzled copies," she wrote.
"Dazzle is my livelihood. I pay 3 rents, 5 employees & handmake everything. I did it w/no investment or guidance, I'll always fight for this."
She continued, "I have an epic resume and have outstanding relationships with my clients. Im not sitting back and letting this snake shit slide…I know its prolly unprofessional of me to spill the tea but I've had it with these non creative millionaires stealing from indie designers."
No one is saying I invented crystallized bodysuits. The issue is that it was purchased with the intent to copy for profit.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan, a representative from Good America has this to say:
"Under no circumstances did Good American or Khloe Kardashian infringe on another brand’s intellectual property… We are going through the proper legal channels to handle the situation."
