THANKS GUYS! I knew Jenny Packham had worked on the other girls dresses, but hadn't actually heard anything about her doing Fleur's too although it makes perfect sense that she would. Honestly that kind of makes the fact that they seem to have copied the McQueen design seem worse. IDK, maybe its silly, but I kind of feel like for a costume designer to copy a runway designer like McQueen's work is one thing, but for another designer like Packham to do so or for her to go along with it without ever publicly citing the original McQueen design as the true inspiration just seems sort of unethical to me. It wouldn't bother me, but in every interview Temime has given she makes it sound as though she came up with that design 100% completely on her own with not a single mention of the McQueen dress. Its just leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. There's no way McQueen copied Fleur's dress because his design came first in 2008 and anyway McQueen was truly a leader and NEVER a follower. As someone else here said I'm a little surprised that none of the fashion publications or other news outlets have noted the resemblance yet.
Like you said, its still a completely STUNNING dress regardless! Then again Clemence could make a garbage bag look like the most beautiful wedding gown ever! I'm just so excited to FINALLY see her back as Fleur! The promotional tour should be starting up fairly soon since we've only got like 3 weeks until Deathly Hallows Part 1 is released! I can't wait to see all of her outfits!
