Diet Sabya Calls Out Lisa Haydon And Mrunal Thakur’s Designers For Creating Lookalike Saree Dresses
Fashion critic Diet Sabya has taken to social media to call out Lisa Haydon and Mrunal Thakur’s respective designers for giving us déjà vu
After targetting many celebs, fashion critic Diet Sabya has
once again called out Bollywood actresses Lisa Haydon and Mrunal Thakur. Lisa
Haydon, who recently walked the Day 2 of Lakme Fashion Week, turned showstopper
for Amit Aggarwal wearing a dark purple drape dress; while on the other hand,
Mrunal Thakur had worn the similar-looking dress by Rimzim Dadu in June 2018.
Looking at both the pictures, one might get déjà vu
Sharing a collage of both pictures, Diet Sabya wrote, “We’ve received hundreds of messages to call this one out, and, honestly as much as one would want to, we don’t know this one is as black and white as it seems. Both @amitaggarwalofficial and @rimzimdaduofficial work with unusual materials (polymers, steel etc) and create structural silhouettes as part of their brand offering. But, having said that, one can’t ignore the fact that this Amit Aggarwal structured sari is too-close-for-comfort to @rimzimdaduofficial now-iconic silhouette. DISCUSS!! #lakmefashionweek #dietsabya #debate #dejavu”
Talking about the designs, a user wrote, “It is similar, but
isn't it what any classic sari would look like if made with a structurally
stiff fabric? I think both the designers have presented their take on a
classic.” While another said, “To everyone commenting it’s “inspired” and not
“copied” - please understand the nuances. Rimzim was the pioneer in structured
metallic saris. It’s not just a sari and no, not all saris in eccentric
materials will just look the same. Even if you decide to turn a blind eye to
the structure, shape, width, curve and other technical details - It’s an
aesthetic around saris that Rimzim Dadu has built and Amit Agarwal is just
riding on. When a ‘leading’ designer presents a show at a prominent fashion
week, one expects freshness and originality.”
Wonder what the respective designers have to say now?
