KIM Kardashian was called out by Camille Charrière on social media and accused of stealing her designs for Skims' latest pajama range.

The 43-year-old designer released a new range with Skims last week in her Spring collection, which included several cotton basics.

Kim shared several floral designs, including a short-sleeved white cotton tank top with a flower pattern.

The top came with matching shorts which she shared via an Instagram post to the brand's almost six million followers.

While the design proved popular with shoppers, another designer called Kim out for supposedly stealing her designs.

London-based fashion designer Camille uploaded a photo on social media of Kim's T-shirt next to a design of her own.

Camille's design sported a strikingly similar design, with a high neck cropped T-shirt and floral pattern.

The design was made for Stripe & Spare and was made from mostly biodegradable materials.

Camille took to X, formerly Twitter, to upload her statement regarding the supposed design rip.

"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," she wrote.

"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 finished.

Skims' pajamas were also priced around $10 less than Camille's.

Camille added a photo of her design next to Kim's for comparison.

Fans flocked to the comment section and suggested that Camille's design wasn't original in the first place.

"Omg a small floral baby tee??? Truly never been done before this is my first time seeing one," replied a fan sarcastically.

"A white baby tee with a yellow floral? Thats 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," added another.

"You can find this exact tee literally everywhere including Walmart," said a third.

"I don’t think you can rip off small tiny flowers during SPRING," argued a fourth.

The U.S. Sun reached out to Camille and SKIMS in regards.

AGAIN, KIM?

Kim was previously accused of ripping a dress design from the brand Agent Provocateur.

The Kardashian star released a floor-length gold silk gown with huge cut-outs on the side for her New Year's collection at the end of 2023.

Agent Provocateur released a very similar dress in black the year before.

This was not the first time Kim was called out online for a Skims campaign, with fans accusing her of trying to stay relevant in her previous shoot.

BIKINI BABE

The reality TV star donned a snakeskin one piece which contained huge cut-outs on the front and showed off her toned stomach.

She lay out on the ground in a white studio while she sported a wet-look hair do.

"BTS of my @nick_knight shoot for @skims," Kim captioned her post.

Fans of the Kardashian took her bikini shot as an attempt to stay relevant and in the spotlight.

"Tryingggg soo hard to stay relevant," one fan wrote, with several others liking their comments.

"Pleeeez. How ridiculous," added another.

"Ok girl. You're time is up," added a third.

"Give it up already, girl. You're the past," commented an angry fan.
