We knew that the members of the Bachchan family are die-hard fans of the designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. But, to wear the exact same design that your sis-in-law already wore, doesn’t sit right with us, at all!

We didn’t like this outfit on Preeti and while we don’t like it on Hrishita either, Hrishita has a better excuse! She had to wear it as part of a film shoot, and you know how producers of low budget movies make you wear the ugliest of outfits! 😉

While, a bunch of you didn’t like Deepika’s Gauri and Nainika gown, look who we found that liked the same dress and chose to wear it in red.
The lady in question is Tanya Sharma, who is about to marry Sabeer Bhatia. Remember him? (Here is a hint: Hotmail!)
While, the pic is not clear, I am sure Tanya’s was as good as Deepika’s. Just wished she hadn’t worn the black ribbon around her waist. Just puts such an immature feel onto this really mature outfit! I know, a lot of you didn’t like it, but I really loved this gown! 😉

Way back in December we had spotted Kareena Kapoor in this Emilio Pucci ‘Love Print Dress’ at the HT Cafe Awards, and quite recently, I spotted Lindsay Price of ‘Lipstick Jungle’ (who plays the designer ‘Victory Ford’) in that very same dress…

 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?
