Fashion watchdog group Diet Prada is calling out Kim Kardashian and Vogue for copying looks especially from fashion icon Naomi Campbell and other notable black women.
They shared a series of photos including some of Beyonce’s looks and one of Nina Simone.
see below:
In 2019 Kim Kardashian admitted to copying Naomi Campbell’s style.
It was recently pointed out that Kim Kardashian may have been taking inspiration from not just the ’90s era of fashion in general, but from Naomi Campbell, an undisputed queen of ’90s runway looks.
So, what does one do when everyone has already pointed out that they know exactly where you’ve gotten your outfit inspiration from?
It seems that if you’re a Kardashian, you eventually just own up to it, which is exactly what Kim did on Monday morning by posting an Instagram photo of herself wearing a silk and lace Versace piece (the same one she wore to Chance the Rapper‘s wedding earlier this month) that Campbell debuted on the runway in 1996.
It’s also the same piece worn by the supermodel’s official wax figure at Madame Tussauds in London.
Perhaps Kardashian figured that if she’s going to be a Campbell clone, she might as well cop to it.

They continued to say:
When you give credit where credit is due, there’s not much room left for the Internet to nitpick the inspiration behind your outfit.
Unless, of course, the lack of originality still ruffles some feathers, which it probably will.
Well 3 yrs later and it looks like feathers are still a bit ruffled!
Kim needs to stop her obsession with Beyonce and Black women though… lol. #VOGUE #Beyonce #KimKardashian https://t.co/MIpB2IeEzM pic.twitter.com/m0eNtOx5aN

Vogue is literally redoing Vogue shoots of iconic Black supermodels like Donyale Luna and Naomi Sims with Zendaya and Kim Kardashian respectively. Please know your fashion history before you jump on the bandwagons.

Do you agree with Diet Prada? Should Kim K be called out for this cover because it was released during Black History Month?
