The Australian designer of a high-end fashion label has told of her devastation after spotting Kylie Jenner’s collection that she believes looked identical to hers. Jessica Johansen, the founder of luxurious brand Johansen, put her “blood, sweat and tears” into launching her dresses with unique twist straps, with prices ranging from $289 to $329, in 2020.
” The designer was alerted to the similar-looking designs after she was bombarded with comments in her inbox. “I’ve been getting so many DMs from customers, friends and family going, ‘Is this your dress? Oh my god, you collaborated with Kylie. Congratulations’,” she recalls. “We’ve dressed Kylie before so when I was looking at it, I just thought it was old stuff. Eventually I was getting so many DMs, I started looking into it and took a dive. I was so shocked.
