Nalandda Bhandari Spring Summer 2008

Marchesa Spring Summer 2008

While the Marchesa and the Nalandda Bhandari are absolutely identical, right from the opening at the neckline, the sleeves, the work on the hemline etc, look how similar the Dior and Surily Goel are. Barring the belt on Surily gown, the straps, the detail at the bust, the puffed hemline/ ruching are quite similar…

Spotted one that is identical. Spotted one that is similar. Its quite hard to miss!

Plagiarism, copyright infringement and downright copying have been plaguing the fashion industry for a while now, perhaps because it is so hard to define the rightful intellectual property and there is such a thin line between plagiarism and “inspiration”! There have been way too many incidents, all you need to do is run a google search and you’ll see, but then, neither do I see an easy solution to this!

I love these designers but its hard to ignore plagiarism and not feel just a tad let down!!

If a picture is worth thousand words, why do I need to say more?

A little thing like being pregnant doesn’t stop these hot mums from stepping out istyle in platform heels! What about you? Do you mostly choose comfort over style?

Petra with her natural color or Gauri with her overdone tan! (Do we sound a little biased already?) 😉

If you think you can pull this outfit off, it can be yours through Bergdorf Goodman. That is if you have $5995 to spare!

Manish Arora returned to Paris Fashion Week a second time and this time his collection for Fall 2008 was inspired by the “warrior theme”.

The collection was predominantly silver and even with a warrior theme, Manish still has added a little bit of humor into it.(See the mickey mouse!)

I am just so in awe of Manish Arora, that I will always love all his collections. What did you think of it?

Kareena Kapoor in what else but a Manish Malhotra designed sari at the Filmfare awards. One of these days, someone should introduce her to some other names, there’s a whole new world out there!!

The outfit itself was pretty safe and boring!
