Last week, Khloรฉ Kardashian was accused of buying, and then duplicating, the designs of designer Destiney Bleu. Bleuโ€™s bedazzled designs have been seen on everyone from Beyoncรฉ to Jamie Foxx.

And now, following in her sisterโ€™s footsteps, Kylie Jenner has been accused of the same thing by another black designer.

Plugged NYC is a fashion brand based in New York City and created by Tizita Balemlay. And just like Bleuโ€™s designs, Balemlayโ€™s clothes have made the celebrity rounds, having been worn by folks like Rihanna, Keke Palmer and Kehlani. And Kylie, just like her older sister Khloรฉ, also ordered a ton of Plugged products before allegedly ripping off the designs:

Balemlay posted email correspondence with Jennerโ€™s rep about the orders that were placed and also used her Instagram account to show the similarities:

Jenner has not responded to the copycat claims, but if sheโ€™s anything like her sister, sheโ€™ll probably send Balemlay a cease-and-desist letter, too.
