The attire of members of the British royal family for the annual Trooping the color holiday is always the subject of much attention. The same thing happened this year: Kate, Duchess of Wales, appeared in a beautiful emerald dress: a sheath dress with glittering fittings, graceful pumps and a wide-brimmed hat. As it turned out, the wife of the heir to the British throne, known for her ability to dress beautifully without the help of famous fashion houses, chose the work of French designer of Singaporean origin Andrew Gn.
And suddenly! Andrew erupted on social networks in accusations against … Belgian Princess Delphine, the illegitimate daughter of the former Belgian King Albert II. Delfina is an artist and has always been characterized by extravagant exits. And at the celebration on the occasion of the Independence Day of Belgium, she appeared in a dress, the print of which she invented herself. But here’s the bad luck – the rest of the dress was suspiciously reminiscent of Kate’s emerald outfit… “This is a shameless copy,” the designer is sure.
Netizens supported Andrew in his outrage. “The dress is really the same, but only worse: the colors are terrible and these are called…”, “It’s impossible to disagree – it’s plagiarism”, “Dolphin vainly decided to copy Kate,” commenters write.
Jodi van Gierth, stylist to the Belgian royal family, answered Andrew. “I’d like to congratulate Kate of Wales for having such good taste too,” she wrote on social media in response to Andrew’s accusations. Pretty cheeky, right?
Jody says the outfit is “purely random” and believes it’s because both Andrew Gn and Belgian label Atelier ExC, who made Delphine’s dress, were inspired by 1960s Chanel style. And by chance, they were inspired almost identically … What doesn’t just happen!
