This isn't the first time Jenner has been accused of ripping off preexisting designs. Back in January, Jenner reportedly avoided a potential copyright infringement lawsuit by coming to an undisclosed agreement with artist Vlada Haggerty regarding dripping lips imagery used in her campaigns. After Haggerty's attorney threatened legal action, Jenner shared a series of Instagram posts urging her followers to check out @vladamua's work. In a subsequent statement, Haggerty said she was "very happy" to announce that the issue had been resolved. "Thanks so much to every single one of you creative souls who supported us, we truly appreciate you," Haggerty said.
