Kylie Jenner Is Getting Accused Of Appropriating A Black Fashion Trend... Again

After staking out territory in the makeup world with her best-selling lip kits, Kylie Jenner's aiming to make the fashion industry her next conquest — but not without controversy.

When Ms. Jenner debuted her latest collection this week —sets of swimwear, sweatpants, and hats in three different camouflage prints—at least one media outlet gave her credit for starting a new "trend."

But people on Twitter couldn't help but notice that Kylie's new camo line looked just like some 'fits that three Black women iconized in the early 2000s. 

(Ever heard of a little girl group called Destiny's Child and their little hit called "Survivor"?)

To make matters worse for King Kylie, the Black-owned company that actually made camo a thing again (without trying to jack the trend) posted the receipts from when Kylie ORDERED FROM THEM on Instagram.

All of our current emotions can be summed up in the following emoji: ðŸ˜¬

And this was hardly the first time Kylie's been accused of appropriating styles made popular by Black women. Scroll through the gallery to see which other "trends" she's pilfered.
