Kim: copycat collusion?sion?

-

KIM Kardashian was accused of helping fast-fastfashio­n site Fashion Nova — which pridesdes itself on being able to get a hot look into stores inn aa mattermatt­er of hours — to rip off designers’ work. Butut the reality star says she’s horrified by the very suggestion­ggestion that she’d get involved in such low-down deeds. The theory developed when a copycat version of a Thierry Mugler dress that Kardashian wore on Sunday popped up on Fashion Nova for $50. And, adding to the intrigue, Instagram accountunt Diet Prada — a fashion plagiarism watchdoghd­og — pointed out that a Fashion Nova modelel had shared pictures of herself wearing the dress on Feb. 14 — several days before Kardashian­hian wore it — and that the photo files were la-labeled “Kim Dress,” implying the star coulduld be tipping off Fashion Nova about her up-upcoming outfits in advance. But on Tuesday,day, Kardashian — who has herself admittedtt­ed “paying homage” to designers with herr kids line — tweeted, “It’s devastatin­g to seeee these fashion companies rip off designs thatat have taken the blood, sweat and tears of true design-designers who have put their all into their ownn origi-original ideas.” She added, “I’ve watched thesethese companies profit off my husband’s [rapperappe­r and designer Kanye West] work for years, and now that it’s also affecting designers whowho have been so generous to give me accessss to their beautiful works,” and said, “Don’t be-believe everything you read and see online.ne. I don’t have any relationsh­ips with theseese sites. I’m not leaking my looks to anyone,ne, and I don’t support what these companiese­s are doing.” Fashion Nova tells Page Six’ss Melissa Minton, “We have not workedd with Kim Kardashian West directly onn any of her projects but have been drivenn by her influentia­l style.”
