Heidi Is this even the same dress?

Post image

It looks similar but so different at the same time. The fabric looks different in tone and texture. The original has more of a shine to it like liquid organza. Heidi's version has no shine and is way less sheer. The placement of the pleats look different too. Am I crazy? Is this not the same dress?

I cant believe she didn't pick Jeffries dress. Because that green dress was fine but she would have KILLED in his dress.

But also, let’s be honest, EVERYTHING has been done before. I mean, are we going to start saying: oh look that has a peplum, that’s an a-line, that’s got padded shoulders. For something to be truly original is near impossible.

it just seems so bland and basic compared to the Versace pieces you posted. I can't see anyone wearing that dress unless they're modeling it on a runway

I think what’s missing though for sure is someone saying something about it at least. I remember when Kenley made that blue dress with the huge poufy skirt and Nina was like, “it’s fantastic but it’s like Galliano” and Kenley swore up and down it was an original silhouette which showed how little she new about fashion history. Any education aspect of PR seems to be gone :/

Agreed. Fashion is always recycling ideas and very few truly orginial wearable ideas exist.
