  8. Hindi ko alam kung pano sila natatawag na high vlass designers when most of their designs have Kalokalikes from other international designers

  10. Inspiration. Actually malayo nga eh. Baka nagkataon na magkamuka lang

  11. Well, mas type ko yung kay Libiran :)

  12. Anne's dress actually reminds me more of the Emilio Pucci gown Gwyneth Palthrow wore sa 2011 Emmys.

  13. Inspiration lang naman siguro. Or baka di pa nga niya nakita tong kay Ms. nguyen e, malay ba natin diba. Tsaka sabi nga nila, it doesnt matter if you copy as long as you know how to make it your own. Kasi even foreign designers ginagawa ring inspiration yung mga gawang atin. Parang sa pagaaral lang yan, nagreresearch ka para mas matuto, para mas maupdate ka sa international trends. :) else, ganito nalang tayong mga Pilipino walang improvement. Maraming mga original works naman si FL. :)

    1. Contradicting yourself te? How can you make something "your own" when you basically just "copied it from somebody else". It can never be "your own".

      Delete
    2. Anon 1:57am You obviously don't know the expression "make it your own". Kung sa pagluluto ng adobo, you put extra something on the original recipe, a twist that would warrant you saying this is my own take of an adobo dish, thus the expression "making it your own". Same goes in fashion, you see an inspiration, you put your own twist here and there, update it by putting your own stamp to the original style/design to make it your own. Now you learned something na maidagdag mo to your limited knowledge in the English language.

    3. Hehe thank you 8:36 for defending my opinion from people who are too literal. Yun din point ko and kasasabi lang din ni raymund santiago yan sa tv kaya napaalala rin ako sa sinabi niya. Hehe.

      1:57 basa basa muna ng meaning ng contradicting. Yung exact meaning. :) alam ko mga sinasabi ko sana ikaw rin.

  14. Ok lang, Basta mura.
    Why should we designer prices for derivative work?


    Dear designers, at least hindi na kailangan magisip!!

  15. Inspiration lng nmn to cguro

    ReplyDelete
  16. bakit lahat ng damit ni anne ngayon parang benta talaga ng katawan. yong slits niya super mga taas. i hope she's not starting a trend. she is beautiful even without being racy all the time.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Inspiration. Hindi sobrang kopya. Binawasan ang taas dinagdagan ang skirt. Haha!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Another imitation... gnawa lng sleeveless at dnagdagan ang slit at iginilid. Umaariba n nmn sa slit c anne. Sna sa gitna nlng nia ilagay para mpag usapan xa ulit! Famewhore

    1. eh bakit parang ikaw lang ang nakapansin? nabalita ba yan?

  19. sa fashion world, meron silang "rule" or etiqutte na finofollow. if the design has atleast 30% original ideas, orig na yan. inspiration nalang kung kahawig ng iba. well in this case, i still think this is imitation. wala pang 30% ang orig. sleeves lang!

    1. turn off na din ako kay francis libiran. seems like his works are nothing but rip offs. ang gwapo pa maman nya. overrated.

      Delete
  20. mas kahawig ang cut ng dress ni anne sa Spring/Summer 2013 collection ni Nicholas G. for Balenciaga.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Actually, I've seen Anne's dress (or at least, sillhouttes like it) way way back in the mid-90s (grunge era). Fashion naman repeats itself, so I won't blame the designer.

    In another point, there are just faint similarities between the two dresses, but I don't think Francis Libiran's is a direct copy.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Trend lang talaga sa Spring 2013 ang ganyang design. Boxy top na labas pusod and skirts with slit. Madami pang ibang NY/European designers ang may ganyan na looks.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Tigilan na ni Anne ang mataas na slits dahil halatang halatang mababa ang balakang niya. Parang may extra baggage sa sides ng thighs.

    ReplyDelete
  24. My Viewpoint on this is simple. Not an Imitation and not an inspiration. First,the two dresses are completely different from each other. From the cuts, sleeves, length. If you had watch the devil wears prada, there is a scene there where in Miranda told Andrea about the Blue. Its not just a Blue. There are so many kinds of Blue: Cerulean, Royal Turquoise, etc. So what do I mean? In the Fashion world simple thing as color makes the clothes different from each other. especially on this dress that is totally different. Porket ba same na crop top imitation na agad? Hello! So many Designers and Retail Brands have crop tops that are paired with pencil cut skirt or maxi skirt. and I am absolutely sure that designer Nini Nguyen didn't started this trend of crop top.

  25. inspiration. or baka naman nauuso lang talaga yan. :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Bakit kelngan gumamit ng inspiration ang mga fashion designer? Di ba pwede their own unique trademark?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Kapareho rin ng gowns nina Charlize sa Oscars at Anne Hathaway sa Golden Globes. Mga Pinoy designers, galing manggaya!

    1. Anlayo naman nun teh. Hulaan ko di mo alam kung anong house nag-design nun? haha. Joke lang. Dagdag knowledge lang,ung kay Charlize gawa ni Raf Simmons from DIOR while yung kay Anne gawa ni Miuccia Prada. :P

  28. Kaya nagagalit si Ate Lope Navo eh ...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Inspiration! but I like Libiran's version plus carry ng nag-suot.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Inspiration, big difference in sihlouette

    ReplyDelete
  31. Di naman siguro ngayon lang nilikha ang slit kung slit/tyan kung tyan na style. Kung magkasabay sila sa party di ko iisipin na imitation/inspiration yan.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Kahit na imitation, mas carry na rin ni Anne.

    ReplyDelete
  33. INSPIRATION! Francis Libiran is a great designer.

    ReplyDelete
  34. inspiration lol bias lang !! ganda ni anne sh*t lakas maka drop dead gorgeous.:P

    ReplyDelete
  35. If I haven't seen Francis Libiran's other creations, I would say inspiration. Kaso, Francis is not really known for very "original" designs.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Neither. Hindi naman parehong-pareho yung style ng dress nila. At hindi rin naman ganun ka-unique ang style para masabing ginaya. Anyone could think of that design. I doubt Anne's designer ever saw the dress on the left.

  38. Pinoy "designers" are hopeless.

    ReplyDelete
  39. i do not understand why people are making such a big deal out of similar designs. Sa dami b nman ng designer at dinadamitan sa mundo, hindi n imposibleng may magkahawig o magkatulad jan. sa details or cut or enhancement or color n lng cguro magkakaiba. at asahan n ntin n ang design noong una ay mauulit tlga.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Inspiration! The line looks straighter and more flattering. It also helped that Anne was the one wearing it. Classy!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Remember Anne Hathaway? She's supposed to wear Valentino for the Oscars but she switched to Prada bec Amanda Seyfried's dress (Alexander McQueen) is similar to her Valentino dress. So imitation din ba yun? What I'm saying is hindi malayo na magkapareho tayo ng ideas. And kaya nga nga tinawag na trend di ba?:)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Some can say inspiration... but if this particular artist has been copying dresses in several occasions. Imitation na ang tawag dun.

    ReplyDelete
  43. INSPIRATION. Hindi naman gayang gaya.
