Ivanka Trump is getting called out!
ICYMI, on March 4, Aquazzura accused the businesswoman of copying the shoe design of their Wild Thing heel, which features a fringed top and tasseled ankle strap.
The Italian brand took to Instagram to share a side-by-side snap of their product next to the blonde beauty’s, claiming that she completely ripped them off.

They wrote in the caption:
“One of the most disturbing things in the fashion industry is when someone blatantly steals your copyright designs and doesn’t care. You should know better. Shame on you @ivankatrump! Imitation is NOT the most sincere form of flattery. #aquazzura #ivankatrump Proud of mine #madeinitaly #italiansdoitbetter├░┼╕ΓÇí┬«├░┼╕ΓÇí┬╣├░┼╕ΓÇí┬«├░┼╕ΓÇí┬╣├░┼╕ΓÇí┬«├░┼╕ΓÇí┬╣”

But this isn’t the first time the company has used the social media site to shame the expecting momma’s familiar footwear.
They also commented on a photo she posted of her shoe back in January, writing:
“@ivankatrump you should be embarrassed for copying young designers! Shame on you!!!!”
See the snap-in-question (below)!
Hope you all have your dancing shoes on for this evening. #nye @liketoknow.it www.liketk.it/24e3N #liketkitA photo posted by Ivanka Trump (@ivankatrump) on Dec 31, 2015 at 3:54pm PST
We understand why Aquazzura would be pissed. Not only does she appear to be mimicking their copyrighted design, the Italian shoes sell for $785, while Ivanka’s only go for $145.
So, the consumer is most likely going to choose the cheaper option.
What do U think?! Did Ivanka steal their shoe? SOUND OFF in the comments!
