Louise Callagy, a spokeswoman for San Francisco-based Gap said the company has not yet notice the case and had no remarks.

Kardashian, 31, has rapid increased to fame in present years after acquiring importance as a friend of Paris Hilton and for having a sex tape. She shows along with her family on the E! Entertainment Television series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and usually graces magazine covers.

Her file’s case is observing indefinite damages and desires a federal judge to avert Old Navy from using a Kardashian similar model in its ads again.

The model in the ads, Melissa Molinaro, is not named in the lawsuit. She articulated frustration that the similarity was being pointed out again. "Were (sic) still talking about this," she posted on Twitter, noting the ad ran five months ago. "Some people have too much time on (their) hands."
