Plagiarism in new avatar



Reading the article in the below link will give you a little introduction to what I am talking about

Well there was a time when you were caught and labelled for all your life as a copy cat if you lifted from some firangi designer. But the things have changed now. Now you are rather called well informed if you do so, aware of the current affairs rather. You even get a flashy title for your lifting skills, it is called a STYLIST

Read the link below for another one, but it is different from the previous entry.

The reason is simple, it does not matter if you are a stylist when you copy from an Indian colleague. Lifting from an Indian counterpart is considered plagiarism. Period.

Now comes my final and most important entry for this post. Some designer copied my style. Yes, she did. And this time again it is the same lady who brought in the word "STYLIST" for research in plagiarism. That really makes me laugh at this hour.

Well the dress is from forever21, and I love it. But it found its entry into the popular bollywood film Love Aaj Kal. I will post the video from the movie and a picture of mine in the same dress. My pics are at the start of the blog, while the STYLIST ones are the end of this blog.

I bought this dress about a year before I saw it on Deepika Padukone in the movie.

Though the STYLIST can always claim that mine is in teal and hers is in pure white.

What to do, just laugh...
