The trending free the nipple captioned Kylie Jenner swimsuit designed by Jean Paul Gaultier is under fire for copying.
As the KUWTK star posed on the gram in a nude color swimsuit with nipple decor another fashion designer noticed their original design replicated without credit.
The 24-year old’s designer swimsuit is known as “The Naked Bikini” made by Jean Paul Gaultier in collaboration with Lotta Volkova. And although the bikini might look bare, Kylie’s comment section was anything but. After taking to the ‘gram, her inner-circle rallied behind her with plenty of praise.
But the creator opposed to the praise.
The verified account “The TaTa Top” posted a sarcastic reply tagging Jean Paul Gaultier, and Kylie Jenner.
“ANNOUNCING OUR COLLAB WITH @jeanpaulgaultier & @kyliejenner🚨 We provide the inspo & affordable price, they try to sell a less-inclusive version to rich people for 5x the price! It’s amazing!!! Never mind the fact we’ve had our (patented) top since 2014, donate $3 from each sale to charity, and are a LGBTQIA-owned business! It’s Pride Month, what better time to take advantage of the queers, am I right?? LMAO Save your money & support ORIGINAL. Link in bio, babes 😘💖😅🤪🙄 PS jk about the collab, obvi.”
They followed the blasting post with a post of one of their models sporting the original design.
So far, Gaultier made no remarks on the design. Designer Lotta Volkova
The TaTa Top also called out Gaultier on the price of the worn Kylie Jenner swimsuit. The TaTa Top sells it’s patented swimwear for about 35 dollars. Meanwhile, the luxury fashion brand is selling out fast with luxury prices.
“The Naked” bikini top sells for $150 and the full set, which includes matching bottoms, costs $325. The full set also comes in a darker skin-tone design.
By Tuesday, the nude-colored bikini top appeared sold out in all sizes and both designs of the full set weren’t far behind.
We smell a lawsuit coming.
