When it comes to fashion, there is a very thin line between inspiration and plagiarism. So much so that famous brands lines like Zara and Dior have been under fire for plagiarizing smaller designer's work, but it doesn't stop there. Recently, a designer clothes house Moschino was accused of stealing another artist's work, and the similarity between the two is undeniable.
Edda Gimnes, a young London-based clothes designer took to Facebook to share her disappointment after seeing Moschino's latest collection. In her Facebook post, she claims that the famous fashion house copied her work without her permission. What makes it even worse is that about a year ago she met someone from Moschino and showed them her work, which makes the entire copycat situation even more shady.
Quickly following her post, designer Jeremy Scott, and the creative director behind Moschino took to Instagram to deny the copyright law allegations and said that his collection was entirely inspired by previous Moschino's collections and there's no copyright infringement of any sort.

This situation quickly sparked a discussion online where most of the people defended Gimnes saying she should sue Moschino for clearly copying her work
Yet somebody claims that this type of textile design has been done decades ago and Gimnes' is not the first one to create it
