Kylie is launching her own clothing collection

Kylie Jenner has been accused of stealing her new KHY clothing line from another designer.

The Kardashians star has come under fire from Betsy Johnson who designs for Products Ltd who has claimed that Kylie has taken her ideas and used them to make money with the newly released fashion range. Betsy took to her social media to make a scathing post about Kylie, 26, claiming she is drowning in debt while Kylie profits from her work.

She wrote: "We emailed Kylie and all her team @products.ltd concept and language and a line sheet 6 MONTHS AGO. INTERESTING CONCEPT KYLIE:...INTERESTING. Thanks for the co-sign. F**k your support."

The miffed designer then shared an image which contained spreadsheet details regarding her student loan repayments. The upload showed that she is £48,294.43 in debt. Betsy - who works as a stylist, consultant and creative director and is aligned with brands including Luis De Javier and Balenciaga then continued her rant.

She said: "While I stare @ my student debt. Worked my a** off for this. Like so many other working-class kids who bust their a** for expertise they weren't born into to realize their ideas." KHY sees Kylie collaborate with another independent brand, Namillia. Betsy also shamed them in her post calling it a "trash move."

Betsy subsequently posted an article about Kylie's brand launch adding middle finger emojis over the post. In a final dig she shared a screenshot of a message from a fellow social media user which read: "Wait sis...why is the caption giving me products ltd concept tease. ?!!!! did you think this or am I bugging?"

Kylie has remained silent on the accusations but did talk to The Wall Street Journal about her new business venture. She said: "Creatively I have such a strong vision of what I want to look like and what I want to do and what I want to wear. There's really no one telling me what to do."

A press release for the collection says it includes "faux leather pants, coats, tops, and base layers," sizes run from XXS to 4X and prices range $48 to $198. The designs officially launch on November 1, with fans able to sign up for select early access items on her website.
