Yesterday, Kylie Jenner spoke out against claims that she was “refusing” to tag a black-owned fashion brand on her Instagram.
On Monday, Kylie posted four photos to Instagram in which she’s seen wearing an orange, form-fitting dress with a single-strap top made from mesh. The dress was designed by LoudBrand Studios, a Black-owned fashion company based in London, though the brand was not originally tagged by Jenner in any image.
Someone pointed out in a viral tweet that Kylie didn’t give credit to the brand, and also accused her of deleting Instagram comments that credited the brand.

Jenner, however, denied the allegation and said it was “a reach” that she would refuse to show support for the company.
“Ok this is just a reach,” Jenner wrote. “Why would i ever REFUSE to tag a brand and block comments. this is completely false. i think this brand is amazing and i wanted to show support and will continue to do so. everyone go check out @LoudBrndStudios.”

Kylie went back to her post and added the tag and also promoted the brand on her Instagram Story. Loud Brand Studios certainly noticed the increased attention they were receiving — their entire website is now sold out — and expressed their gratitude to the Kylie Cosmetics founder.
Thank you all for the purchases the reposts and follows and amazing kind words your support is really unbelievable we are working quickly to get the orders out and answer any questions you may have love you all ❤️
