“This lawsuit is unfounded. “
Kendall Jenner is facing a new trial from Italian fashion label Liu Jo after the brand alleged the model had “violated an agreement” in her photoshoot contract.
In a report from The Fashion Law that detailed court documents, Kendall Jenner was contractually obligated to do two photoshoots for Liu Jo’s Spring / Summer 2020 and Fall / Winter 2020 campaigns – but she only did one. According to the lawsuit, the deal was reached in 2019, and Kendall was paid $ 1.35 million before terminating her service.
Due to the pandemic, the second filming (originally scheduled for March 2020) has been delayed. Now, the brand claims the second shoot never came to fruition because Kendall Jenner “failed to provide Liu Jo with definitive answers to his proposals” when alternate dates and locations for the second shoot were offered.
Liu Jo is now claiming at least $ 1.8 million in damages.
In the lawsuit, Liu Jo argues that “at the end of September 2020, it became clear that Ms. Jenner did not intend to fulfill her obligations under the agreement by performing the second photoshoot on a date postponed to October 2020. . “
The lawsuit claims that Kendall and his team “stopped responding” to Liu Jo when asked to agree on dates rescheduled in October. They say they have been “consistently faced with silence or rejection from Ms. Jenner.”
Kendall’s crew also indicated it would be “difficult” for them to fly to Italy in September 2020 for the rescheduled shoot, according to the lawsuit. but soon found She then said that she had been in the nation at the same time for a photoshoot with another Italian fashion designer.
On top of that, Liu Jo contends that Kendall Jenner “claimed she was unable to travel to Italy due to her health issues related to the coronavirus pandemic”, but that he was “at the same time … repeatedly reported that she was violating CDC guidelines by engaging in several non-essential international trips and throwing big parties with her friends. ”
The costume provides an LA Times article referencing Kendall’s birthday party in November 2020.
A spokesperson for The Society Management responded to The Fashion Law’s request for comment, saying:
“This lawsuit is unfounded. Society Management, on behalf of Ms. Kendall Jenner, has repeatedly offered Liu Jo several dates and locations to complete an agreement that had to be postponed owing to the coronavirus outbreak.
TMZ also reports that they were told that Kendall Jenner “voluntarily offered to complete services by honoring her commitments.”
