the funny part is that every copy that Zuhair does its always worst than the original

So many celebs wear his copied dresses, I wonder why they don't just wear the original. I'm sure their stylists are aware of his tendencies.

mackos · 20-11-2011

Well, if I was a celeb and had to choose between these two, I'd probably go for Murad's version this time.

Besides, this type of dress is a classical, and therefore a rather popular one.

chloesaab · 20-11-2011

^u r totally right
and i think sometimes Zuhair Murad's copied pieces look better than the original ones

Crying Diamonds · 20-11-2011

I think that's the idea - just take everything off the original design that could make a customer think no, to make an extremely wearable, saleable, bland design.
And then he applies all the stuff he's removed onto the garments he does design!

JustABoy · 20-11-2011

Gosh, people really have it out for Murad! I get some of the comparisons, but I'll never understand why so many people are out to villify this man as a copier when the "original" designs featured are often anything but! In your rush to condemn this designer for stealing ideas, it seems like a lot of people are forgetting that the original idea wasn't Donatella Versace's (or whoever's), either.

Littleathquakes · 20-11-2011

well I think he's been shown to be quite prolific at it - when you have such a record, it's easy to be labeled a copier (look back a few pages - the Prada one is particularly egregious).

But in this case, I agree - that particular dress isn't a Versace original either. it's merely a long sleeve wrap with a belt.

I don't know what's more sad: blatantly duplicating a dress or the fact that she chose THAT awful dress
