Lindsay Lohan knows a good idea when she sees one!
In addition to stealing Jen Kao's dress design, La Loca has also lifted a leggings design from James Lillis, designer of Black Milk Clothing.
The designer recently took to his blog after he noticed striking similarities between his Sheer Spartan leggings and 6126's Diamond design. His response? "Sucks to be me".
Jen Kao knows how you feel! The designer has already issued a statement about being copied, saying:
"While we are all well aware that being ‘mimicked’ or ‘copied’ has always existed in this industry, I think the evolution of it all has grown to an alarming level. It’s a shame to support the concept of taking advantage of designers who are still trying to develop a name and solidify the image of their design aesthetic."
But after the two claims Lindsay's camp begs to differ.
President of 6126 Kristi Taylor had this to say about all the copycat accusations:
“The alleged ‘copying’ claims made by these companies are false and have absolutely no merit or validity whatsoever. Any alleged similarities are purely coincidental. The 6126 illustrations for the upcoming fall 2010 collections do not even describe the fabric content, fit or actual construction details of the garments. This is merely an accusation based upon a pencil sketch with no concrete viable evidence to back up the allegations.”
Whatever you say, Kristi.
Can't wait to see who she steals from next!
