The influence of the Kardashian-Jenner family is facing turbulence across various fashion and beauty ventures. Both Kim Kardashian’s cosmetics company and Kylie Jenner’s fashion brand are encountering difficulties. Additionally, Kendall Jenner’s wine company is reportedly not performing as well as anticipated.
Kylie Jenner has been repeatedly accused of intellectual property theft. According to Elle, Kylie’s fashion brand, Khy, launched in October 2023, is embroiled in controversy over material and design issues. Many users criticize the poor quality of the clothing products, which do not resemble any of Kylie’s advertised outfits.
Khy x Entire Studios’ collection has been criticized as a replica of Skims x Good American, a brand led by her sister Kim. In March, Khy’s fourth collection faced allegations from Australian designer Jessica Johansen-Bell for copying designs from three years prior.
Moreover, Khy’s collaboration with designers Nan Li and Emilia Pfohl has also faced accusations of idea theft from Berlin fashion icon Betsy Johnson.
These scandals have led to significant backlash against the brand, which has been operational for less than a year.
Kylie is also struggling to sell her Beverly Hills home. Initially listed at $21.9 million, the property’s price has dropped to $17.9 million over several months with no takers.
Barbara Corcoran, an investor from Shark Tank, believes it’s challenging for Kylie to sell the property due to Los Angeles’ declining luxury real estate market and increasing taxes.
Despite being referred to as a billionaire without substantiation, Kylie faces criticism for living beyond her financial means. One comment reads, “No one thinks Kylie is about to become homeless, but she seems to be living beyond her economic capabilities. That’s why every few days she launches a new business project.”
Kim Kardashian’s latest venture, KKW Beauty, has also faced criticism for its lack of standout products since its launch in 2022. The brand has been deemed a failure by Elle, with digital media expert Emily Chapps attributing this to Kardashian’s repetitive product releases that have lost appeal among general consumers.
Recently, discussions about Kim have centered around controversies regarding the sale of her used clothing, bags, and accessories on Kardashian Kloset. Criticism has been directed at the high prices Kim sets, including a $9,000 Supreme bag and a $70,000 Hermès Birkin bag, both of which have remained unsold.
Kendall Jenner has faced personal challenges as well. In a Vogue interview in May, Kendall revealed struggling with anxiety and negative thoughts over the past two months. She described experiencing panic attacks and relying on her mother for support during difficult moments.
Despite Kendall’s stable modeling career and numerous opportunities, she expressed ongoing difficulties. “I’ve never been myself, and my friends recognize that,” she said. “I’m sad and worried a lot.”
Similar to her sisters, Kendall ventured into business early in life. Instead of fashion or beauty, she focused on alcoholic beverages with her brand, 818 Tequila. Amid growing public demands for transparency from celebrities, Jenner has declined to comment on sales figures or her stake in the company, fueling speculation about her role and the brand’s performance.
The Kardashian-Jenner family’s ventures face mounting challenges, affecting their businesses and personal lives amid ongoing controversies and financial scrutiny.
