Emily Ratajkowski is under fire for ‘stealing designs’ for her new swimwear line

I hate these blurred lines

Model and Girl Your Boyfriend Follows On Instagram Emily Ratajkowski received a cease-and-desist letter from another designer who accused her of copying two of the six suits available from Ratajkowski's new swimwear line, Inamorata.

Ratajkowski has been pushing the swimwear line on her Instagram account using her wide audience and literally perfect body, posing in the suits prior to the line's release on November 16.
