Fashion Fraud Squad: Peacock Print dresses by Matthew Williamson and Desire Clothing
Fashion designers don’t only “inspire” the high street with their main collections – they also inspire them with those diffusion lines they produce from time to time, as this Matthew Williamson for H&M peacock print dress proves. It retailed for £59,99 when it was released earlier this year, but quickly sold out, although not before the likes of Katy Perry and Nicky Hilton got their hands on it
Desire Clothing’s peacock dress, meanwhile, has short sleeves rather than long ones, plus a belt the original didn’t have, but the pattern itself is almost identical. The price, however, isn’t: it’s £18 and it’s available here.
Sadly, I like the cut of the fashion fraud dress better than the original.
Ugh – the fraud version looks like it should be hanging in a market stall somewhere…
The cheaper dress’s shape is much better, but the fabric looks cheap. Meh, I wouldn’t buy either at any price.
The belt definitely helps.
I like the fraud.
The designer is beautiful. The fraud is horrible – looks like a pillowcase with a belt.
Peacocks again? :/ fraud or not, it’s getting boring..
