Milky has accused Lenguas de Gato of plagiarizing her original designs for their new swimsuit line. The designs in question feature similar illustrations of rabbits, with strikingly similar stylistic elements. "The similarities are undeniable," states Alondra Cosilion, a well-known Mexican influencer who analyzed the designs in a recent video. "The composition, proportions, and even the line style are almost identical." Cosilion's video has gone viral, sparking widespread discussion on social media.
