Alkaram has released a new collection and it looks like they copied a design from a Korean band’s album cover.

A well known clothing brand of Pakistan @alkaramstudio copied a design of BTS LOVE YOURSELF- Her album cover design. It’s in an exact formation. This is really disappointed that they copied it when they actually can make their own designs.

A kurta on their website had delicate floral embroidery and local fans noticed that the designs look exactly like K-pop band’s album cover from 2017.

BTS (K-pop band) fandom in Pakistan called out Alkaram for plagiarising the design.

Apparently @alkaramstudio lacks the ability to hire designers that can make original designs. They literally COPIED bts’s LY:Her album art and embroidered it on a shirt CLAIMING it to be their own. This isn’t just a shop selling merch. Its AN ACTUAL CLOTHING BRAND. pic.twitter.com/cLUjbvQCPK

Soon after the backlash, the brand removed the kurta from its website.

One of the fans also shared a conversation with the brand that claimed the design is original and genuine.
