A Tanzanian fashion designer, Asya Khamsin, has accused a United States Department of Energy official, Sam Brinton, of wearing her clothes that vanished with her suitcase in 2018.
Khamsin claimed that Brinton, who identifies as non-binary, had been seen wearing her custom-made outfits on several occasions since her luggage went missing from Washington DC airport on March 9, 2018.
She reported her missing luggage but it was never recovered.
The fashion guru, based in Houston, shared side by side photos of herself wearing one of her outfits next to a photo that surfaced of Brinton in what she believes is the same one.
The outfits were meant to be on display, but Khamsin said she was not able to do the event after they went missing.
Brinton was contacted by investigators and said they had not taken the bag.
They later admitted to the crime but claimed it was an accident.
