Kim Kardashian is one of the many celebrities, including her many famous sisters, who have started fashion brands, using their name and likeness to promote their designs. Kim’s brand, SKIMS, sells products like loungewear, shapewear, and swimwear, but according to claims from many much smaller designers, lots of Kim’s designs aren’t her own.
However, in typical David vs. Goliath fashion, a smaller fashion brand won’t get very far trying to take down a fashion giant like Kim Kardashian, so the only person in the fashion world that could turn a Goliath like Kim into a David has stepped up. According to reports, Anna Wintour, iconic editor of Vogue, is suing Kim Kardashian for design theft. Keep reading for all the details.

Anna Wintour Is Reportedly Suing Kim Kardashian
While no official court documents have been found, rumors around Anna Wintor suing Kim Kardashian have been swirling all over social media. The specific design that has triggered this alleged lawsuit is the new limited edition Marigold Rosebud print. Featuring dainty butter-yellow flower buds, you can get this print on the Cotton Rib Tank, Cotton Rib Boxer, Cotton Rib T-Shirt, Cotton Rib Legging, Cotton Rib Rank Dress, Cotton Rib Plunge Bralette, Cotton Rib Scoop Bralette, Cotton Rib Cami, Cotton Rib Short Short, Cotton Rib Low Back Onesie, and Cotton Rib Cropped Cami.
However, after one user posted on X, formerly Twitter, sharing, "a brand I worked for released this exact same print in cotton ribbed basics last year," another user revealed that this isn't new info, in fact, "Anna Wintour is suing bc of design theft."
According to a few Reddit threads and TikToks, after numerous reports from smaller designers claiming Kim Kardashian has ripped them off by putting their designs on her SKIMS products, Anna Wintor has stepped up and is "taking legal action."
Social Media Users Hope For The Downfall of SKIMS
Across TiKToks and Reddit threads, users are cheering for Anna Wintour, hoping she will be the one to take down Kim Kardashian for her unethical practices. "Skims steals A LOT... just like Khy," one user wrote on Reddit, bringing Kim's younger sister Kylie's brand, Khy, into the conversation. "Hopefully Anna Wintour takes them down in a stealth suit."
"I'm not surprised what doesn't she steal?" one person wrote.
"Of course they stole someone's EXACT pattern," another user said. "There are millions of patterns for sale all across the internet yet they can't just pay someone to use an already made pattern - they copy."
"I saw this coming a long time ago," one person said in a TikTok comment. "Now let's takl about her wearing Balenciaga yesterday!"
"Bout time!!!!" another said in a comment on the same video.
"Good let her go down!" a final user commented. "She's a POS fake thief. She hasn't had her own idea EVER!"
