Looking at the dress below from Hermes Spring 2008, is it obvious or is it obvious where Surily got her inspiration from?

A colorful and sporty collection, Surily Goel’s collection should appeal to the mass audiences.
The silhouttes were very feminine with one shouldered dresses and embellished waistlines. The later part of the collection featured silk ombre dresses. Geometric motifs were also heavily used to create glamourous looks.

 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?

There is a reason why Bottega Veneta is a must have for every A-lister and bonafide fashionista, it is timeless, classic, sophisticated, made with impeccable style, and immeasurable quality! No one can do inter-woven leather better than them! It is discreet and the lack of logos and branding only seal the deal. Its quality, finish and design are enough to set it in a whole different league!

While pricey, if you can afford it, its a great piece to own! Start with a basic black, like the one below, its timelessness will assure its longevity!
