MOLLY-MAE Hughes has hit back at claims she's recycled old designs for her brand new PrettyLittleThing collection.
The Love Island finalist, 20, whose signature line launched yesterday, faced a backlash from fans who accused PLT of paying her £500,000 to model existing clothes.
Many fans gushed about the designs, but others questioned how original it was.
One unimpressed fan tweeted: "Wait why is it called the Molly-Mae collection when half of the clothes were on PLT months ago?"
Another annoyed shopper said: "This whole Molly-Mae x PLT release is just recycled pieces."
And a third slammed: "They've clearly just slapped her name on stuff they'd be releasing anyway but who wouldn't for 500k".
Alongside new pieces, the Molly-Mae collection includes an off-the-shoulder jacket which was previously listed in white, a belted orange dress which has already been launched in blue, and a black leather skirt which one shopper purchased in November last year.
The influencer proved her style credentials in the famous villa, where she started a relationship with boxer Tommy Fury.
But some fans doubted whether she had designed an entire collection in the five short weeks since flying home from Mallorca.
One fan said: "I'm also pretty sure she didn't design the pieces either, like PLT have just paid her to be the face of their next collection.
"Molly-Mae didn't just jump out the villa and suddenly become a designer but I could be wrong."
A PLT spokesman denied claims she wasn't involved, but admitted some of the clothes featured were previous best-sellers.
They told the MailOnline: "Molly has been fully involved in the design process of this collection and has worked extremely hard with our team of in house designers in bringing her collection to life.
"She came to us with a mood board of ideas and we sketched some new styles which are in the collection as well as introducing new colours on a very small amount of already existing lines.
"Molly will be relaunching her YouTube channel this week where she will be taking her viewers through the collection process and discussing her collaboration with PrettyLittleThing.
"Eight of the items in Molly’s collection were previous best selling lines from PLT."
The Love Island girls flocked to Molly-Mae's launch party on Monday night, amid feud rumours.
While the reality star told The Sun Online jealous people are trying to destroy her "perfect" romance with boyfriend Tommy.
Molly-Mae also revealed Tommy had moved into her home and said she's meeting his famous brother Tyson Fury soon.
