The copy is so much worse too. Like Temu version of hers. It lost all the texture and character.
That’s just egregious and insulting. Why wouldn’t they just move forward with acquiring the real deal?! I hope she prevails.
What a piss poor counterfeit of her work, to boot.
I’m glad she spoke out, and I’m looking forward to hearing more of her story.
What in the world?? That is diabolical. So they stole her idea and then paid someone to do a worse version? Literally why…

No credits to her. Yikes. But they did just add her to the Instagram caption last minute to scramble
Tuned tf in for this one. GO ANOUSHKA GO 👏👏👏👏
Wowwww and the copy is uglier (it’s a really cool design) how in the world did he have the audacity
Idk. Here is the rest of that A/W collection that she didn’t work on. It looks visually very cohesive with both the old and new dresses, like they’re both the designer’s vision. And she says they asked her to weave the textile, not design it.
I feel like I’m missing something here.

Wow wow wow I will be following this story. Good luck to Anouska I’m glad they have receipts but it’s still so stressful.
This is an injustice, so gross!
That’s so fucking wild. And blatant. I mean, I guess what do we expect outta the Bezos Gala? But it’s honestly so high profile, it’s shocking to me. He’s gonna fuck The Met’s reputation, in general. And Vogue’s. And I’m honestly so sad.
