Yoko Ono's clothing line is under fire after claims that she stole her designs from an Iranian-American designer surface.

An Iranian-American designer claims Yoko Ono's John Lennon-inspired fashion line is based on her designs.

Haleh Nematzadeh, 36, claims Ono, 80, tweaked designs from her women's fashion line to produce a men's clothing range, the Daily Mail reported.

The allegations come a few days after Ono debuted her men's clothing line "1969-2012" for Opening Ceremony, which features several see-through and hand-printed items -- two characteristics also prominent in Nematzadeh's garments.

According to the 36-year-old, she met with photographers from Opening Ceremony who promised to return to photograph her clothes but instead went to Ono's team with her ideas.

 

"They took everything with no shame," the designer said of Ono's team.
