This week designer Kellie Ford called out Louis Vuitton creative director Pharrell Williams, accusing him of copying her viral Louis Vuitton shopping bag, Media Take Out has learned.
You’ll recall that Pharrell was sued for millions, and found guilty of stealing music from legendary singer Marvin Gaye.
Kellie posted a video, nearly 6 months ago, showing how she changed a Louis Vuitton shopping bag, into a purse. Pharrell created a design that looks remarkably similar to Kellie’s

In a video posted on TikTok Kellie Ford explains that her “concept” was stolen and compares her case to that of Dapper Dan, who was sued by Gucci for customizing their fabric in the 80s only to be hired by them decades later.
She said she plans on suing Pharrell.
