A British influencer has accused Kim Kardashian of ripping off one of her designs – but not everyone is convinced.
Fashion blogger Camille Charrière, shared a side-by-side shots of a ‘Baby Tee’ with floral prints and one of Skims cotton rib T-shirts.
Camille, from London, worked with the British lingerie company Stripe & Stare to make the £45 product – which is made from 95 per cent biodegradable products.
But the white top with a floral print bares a striking similarity to Skims £38 Marigold Rosebud Cotton Rib Tee.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Camille wrote: ‘Kim K/Skims has ripped off the one project that i put my heart & soul into, waved my fee for, and put out in a bid to platform one of the few brands who isn’t greenwashing.

‘Stripe & Stare underwear is 95 per cent biodegradable and the comfiest in the knicker drawer so jokes on you Kim’.
‘Worst part is felt reluctant to even share this because I feel the Kardashians do this kind of thing on purpose to create friction and stay relevant (whilst making billions). What a sad little life Jane’.
She then shared a side by side shot of the Stripe & Stare campaign showing striking similarities between the pair.
Not only is the T-shirt similar but the shoot is too, with both using a blonde model in a similar pose.
However, people were quick to point out that a floral T-shirt is not an original design, and there are dozens around.
‘A white baby tee with a yellow floral? That’s available almost everywhere, I can get one at target right now. In fact I had one exactly like it as a child. Neither of you are breaking new ground here,’ said one.
Despite similarities, many fans said the two designs were common elsewhere
The Camille Tee is 95 per cent biodegradable
‘Omg a small floral baby tee? Truly never been done before this is my first time seeing one,’ added another.
‘It’s pretty common, it’s a floral design?,’ said a third.
‘I don’t think you can rip off small tiny flowers during spring,’ one fashionista added, while another said ‘Florals for spring? Groundbreaking,’ referencing the Devil Wears Prada.
‘This took your heart and soul to make? They have it at Forever 21,’ wrote another.
’95 per cent biodegradable means they’re not biodegradable and I’ve seen that print a thousand times but this was genius marketing. I see you queen,’ said another.
‘Did I read that correctly? you purchased a mass produced shirt, didn’t design it and you’re mad that skims is selling the same one? or you designed this and she stole it? ‘ said another.
‘You can find this exact tee literally everywhere including Walmart,’ said one.
‘Am I tripping or have i seen this print literally back in the early 2000s at Target?’
However some came to Camille’s defence, with one writing: ”The resemblance is literally undeniable, I can’t believe there’s people defending Kim lmao,’.
‘It’s clever because if I had a shoe with a heel, the heel gets stuck in the metal skirt,’ she told the magazine. ‘So that was our issue of walking’
Kardashian, who stands at 5foot2inches, was willing to sacrifice comfort because she felt that the look needed ‘height’
Last year, Kim was accused of ripping of an Agent Provocateur dress for her New Years’ Eve line.
Both dresses featured large cutouts and were floor length.
The news comes as Kim wowed onlookers while displaying her impossibly slim waist in the silver custom Maison Margiela by John Galliano number at the annual soiree.
Despite landing on numerous ‘Best Dressed’ lists, the mother-of-four faced fierce concern from social media users – with one person predicting that she’d ‘be in the hospital by the end of the night,’ and another asking, ‘How many ribs did she get removed?’
Kim was seen struggling to breathe in her 2024 Met Gala look in video capturing her preparations for the soiree by Vogue.
The video began with Kim taking long, slow exhales as she is asked by the director, ‘How’s the breathing going?’
‘It’s an art form. But I got it,’ Kim replied.
Kim previously revealed she undertook corset breathing lessons to fit into a corseted dress by Thierry Mugler for the 2019 Met Gala.
She gushed: ‘I learned so much about couture from this genius man [Thierry Mugler], it was beyond couture, it was art! 7 months in the making and fittings in Montreal, Paris and LA.
‘Corset breathing lessons from none other than Mr. Pearl. It was worth it all!!!’
