Vetements Was Copied By Margiela?

According to the world clothing shoes and hat network understanding, cultural misappropriation, plagiarism, reference, salute, the boundaries of the four words are so ambiguous, especially in the fashion world.

When Instagram account Diet Prada pointed out that Gucci 2018 exclusive series plagiarized the design of Luis Vuitton in the Harlem district's tailor Dapper Dan, it also caused a discussion about "cultural appropriation".

In the face of controversial issues, Alessandro Michele has done two things: finding Dapper Dan to shoot advertising blockbusters, cooperative capsule series, and sponsoring him to reopen a studio; find two Americans behind Diet Prada in Milan.

And operate during this period.

Instagram Stories.

This time, Diet Prada also pointed out that a pair of shoes on the Vetements 2018 autumn winter show were too obvious to copy the classic Tabi boots of Martin Margiela, which should not be produced.

In these two cases, Alessandro Michele and Demna Gvasalia used the word "salute" to explain for themselves.

First, let's talk about the Vetements show. The theme is "Elephant in the room". This "elephant" refers to Martin Margiela.

"I came back to my roots as a designer (Demna worked in Martin Margiela in 2009-2012 years) and returned to Margiela era.

I want to show what Margiela means to me and to Vetements.

... is a way, not a person.

It's a way to love clothes, and to break the rules with these clothes. This is what we did. "Gvasalia, immediately after the show, explained to the media and critics:" everything is a misappropriation.

We live in a world of reference. These references exist to feed us and create new things.

This is the challenge I set for myself.

Therefore, the show was held in Saint-Ouen, Paris. (Martin Margiela Margiela likes to visit the flea market, and it is also the place where she often searches for inspiration). The stacked style, the country girl's scarf and the unfinished seam can be regarded as "the way of Margiela".

The pattern on the "Elephant in the room" T-shirt is painted by the children in the kindergarten near the studio.

In addition, another obscure point is the "Vetements, Elephant in the room" T-shirt with a young font.

It's Gvasalia, who draws pictures from kindergarten children next to Swiss studios.

At first, Margiela showed many children in the front row to see the show on the ruins in the outskirts of Paris.

In short, it seems that Demna Gvasalia is logical and self consistent.

Only those Tabi boots boots, inspired by Japanese traditional Tabi socks, are too classic. The "salute" of the Gvasalia is too blatant and obscure.

Diet Prada also said, this series is cool, that is, those shoes are best not to be produced. "Because such a logo design, it is difficult to understand why people do not buy the original directly."

The Diet Prada account mainly refers to the "reference elements" in the fashion world. It is released in the form of picture contrast. Currently, it has more than 240 thousand fans, including Rihanna, Naomi Campbell, Nicolas Ghesqui re, Edward Enninful, Kendall Jenner, and people in the fashion industry and magazines.

Since the account was opened in 2014, it has not been changed. Those who are concerned about him have not been named Diet Prada.
