OH NO THEY DIDN’T!
I met fashion designer Chet Lo in Milan at the White Trade show. His futuristic eye catching textile designs got my immediate attention. In a white chromatic room, how could the polychromas pastels and fuchsia pieces not grab attention? I chatted with Chet about his unique looks.
The London based designer is now involved in a copycat scandal with a global fashion chain. H&M has been accused of intellectual property impropriety. Diet Prada and Daily Mail reported the Swedish chain’s new “conscious” Innovation Cherish Waste Collection is an imitation of the Asian American’s pieces. The similarities are quite noticeable. What should we think? After looking over the pieces from both sides, well,,, the finger pointers have a valid argument. H&M denies the plagiarism allegations.
I have a feeling this fashion drama is not over.

Thierry 2022
Legendary fashion designer Theirry Mugler passed. A visionary known for the cinched waist, broad shoulders and theatrics, Mugler was never boring. As a child of the 90’s, I remember his designs on celebrities and in music videos including George Michael’s “Too Funky”. For those who grew up in the social media era, Kim Kardashian’s 2019 Met Gala crystal dress and Superstar Beyonce’s concert tour costumes are fine examples of Mugler’s style. The Strasbourg born designer always gave a great show. The 72 year old passed due to natural causes according to his agent.
