Kendall and Kylie Jenner 'being sued' by Island Company clothing brand after they copied its trademarked logo for PacSun range

  • Allegedly copied Island Company's trademarked logo
  • Reportedly used trademark phrase in their PacSun fashion range
  • Sisters have been designing for PacSun since 2012 

Kendall and Kylie Jenner have been hit with a lawsuit after they allegedly copied Island Company's trademarked logo.

The famous sisters are being sued by the resort clothing brand founded in 2002 for reportedly using its phrase, 'Quit your job. Buy a ticket. Get a tan. Fall in love. Never return,' according to the New York Post's Page Six.

Island Company has claimed PacSun has created T-shirts within Kendall and Kylie's clothing line with the similar motto, 'Run away. Fall in love. Never return,' which it believes will cause 'confusion and deception among consumers.'

Island Company, which is highly popular with the likes of Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz and Johnny Depp, has reportedly asked the sisters and PacSun to remove the T-shirts from their line as it's been their trademark phrase since 2005.

MailOnline has contacted PacSun and Island Company for comment and is awaiting a response. 

Kendall, 19, and Kylie, 18, previously said they were inspired to team up with PacSun and design their own clothes after seeing their half-sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe create their own line, The Kardashian Kollection.

Speaking in an interview with the brand earlier this year, Kendall said: 'We've always been very involved in fashion. 

'I think seeing our sisters do their clothing line was very inspiring. We kind of saw their whole process and we wanted to try it out, and when the opportunity came with PacSun, we just jumped on it.' 

The duo began collaborating with the retailer in 2012 and unveiled their summer range in July.

The range featured pretty paisley prints, girly lace dresses and rompers, and matching shorts-and-crop-top combos.

Kendall and Kylie, who also design for Topshop and Steve Madden, joined Kris, Caitlyn, half-sisters Kourtney and Khloe to celebrate Kim Kardashian's baby shower this weekend.

The gig was the first time Khloe had strayed from her estranged husband Lamar Odom's bedside, after he was found unconscious in a Vegas brothel 12 days ago.

Khloe's best friend Malika Haqq and her twin sister Khadijah joined the fun, as did Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Lisa Gastineau and Extra host Maria Menunos.
