Kylie Jenner Criticized for Failing to Credit Black Designer

US socialite Kylie Jenner has faced intense criticism for failing to credit the designer of a dress she wore and shared on social media.

According to reports, the designer, Loud Brand Studios, posted several photos of Kylie wearing their Limited Edition Raw Edge Vashtie Dress, but Kylie failed to tag the designer on her post.

As a result, many of her critics accused her of being racist, with some suggesting that she refused to tag the designer because he is black.

However, others pointed out that Kylie does not usually tag anyone, including her stylists and hairdressers, on her social media posts.

Despite the criticism, Kylie has not yet rectified her error and tagged the designer.

This incident comes just days after Kylie was mauled online for going on vacation during the pandemic.
