Dior or Bihor? That is the question

Recently, there was quite a tumult about the Dior Pre-Falls collection. It seems that it has been strongly "inspired" by traditional Bihor clothes.


If you do not pay that a lot of attention to fashion designers and famous, you probably do not think about how trends begin. I have always thought that big fashion houses have become so famous and expensive because of their unique ideas, their creativity and their exclusivity. After all, it is difficult to continue thinking about totally new ideas and original conceptions for clothes nowadays, where it seems that everything is done. It must take a lot of time, effort and most talents to offer something original and beautiful. Where is it?

Recently, there was quite a tumult about the Dior Pre-Falls collection. It seems that this has been strongly inspired by traditional Bihor clothes. I say "inspired" but when you see these photos, you start realizing it's just stolen. It seems that Dior has simply taken national bihor designs, put them on models and sells $ 30,000.


Bihor is a region of Romania that has a very rich culture and that their domestic clothes and designs are a pride point for them. They made these clothes meticulously designed for generations and it takes a lot of hard work to do them. This is something they wear for national holidays or special events.


Now, imagine how upsetting it has to be upsetting when you have done something for centuries, then a big fashion home will steal your idea and hitting drawings and claims that it is theirs, sells astronomical sums money, of which you do not get anything. In addition, they even create no man of Bihor craftsmen or mention Bihor as a source of their inspiration. It is essentially blatant cultural credits.


When a fashionable fashion magazine beautiful world has discovered a very interesting way to fight. They created a campaign calledBihor Couture This allows fashionistas from around the world to buy beautiful clothes designed from Bihor less expensive than Dior, and they go back to the money to local craftsmen who made the clothes, benefiting from the community. Take this, Dior.


You should also know that Dior is not the first big name to do that. Several designers have tried something similar in the past, where they take something that is not well known or something forgotten and present as their own. And what do they do when they are called about it? They say they were inspired by the original. But can you call this inspiration when you copy the line of things for the line? What do you think?
