Thanks to highheelconfidential we discovered the blatant plagiarism by Mumbai based designer Surily Goel. Even a blind man can say that the honeycomb neckline dress that Surily Goel showcased as her Fall/Winter 2013 collection at WIFW was a shameless imitation of Gucci’s spring/summer 2013 style. The images bare it all.
In fact Surily has a penchant for copying Gucci. I discovered yet another copying act from Gucci’s 2009 collection.

DNA, Mumbai copied your news today! They haven’t named him and her, but have published it as a quiz!
VK is referring to my previous posting on the 20th of May 2011: New Guy in Priya Chatwal’s life – Bobby Deol http://fashionscandal.com/index.php/2011/05/new-guy-in-priya-chatwals-life-bobby-deol/
Thanks VK that you brought this to my notice. It’s readers like you whom I salute, Cheers dude!
The Big Media Houses are Theives! Shameless are these plagiarism plagued publications.
I unfortunately do not have the legal resources to drag the Goels to court but then they never had any ethics in business.
A faithful reader of fashionscandal.com wrote back a flattering comment. I don’t know his/her name but thanks mate!

Dear Jack,
Your posts are being repeatedly plagiarised by Bombay Times and Midday Mumbai. Imitation is the best form of flattery, congratulations?
My heart goes out to designer Rohit Bal, mending a broken heart sucks!
