Looks like the designer is a little too inspired from Alexander McQueen. I wonder why the red colour scheme didn't impress him! Some one please remind him that the blue colour scheme doesn't really make it look very original or 'just inspired'!
The garment that Bollywood actor Kangna Ranaut (showstopper for Shantanu) wore is exactly the same as the one featured in the right except for the collar detailing. The hem line embroidery was reused by Shantanu though he couldn't really recreate the exact mermaid tail that MccQueen's garment features.
The Hindustan Times city article talking about my tweet suggesting that the designer had 'already' mentioned that he was INSPIRED from McQueen. This is not the first time that such similarities has occurred in runway. Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna's AW 2011collection looked highly inspired from Celine. This inspiration streak is not just confined to Indian runways, but is also seen in many fashion shows abroad like the Prabal Gurung spring/summer 2012 at New York fashion week which has striking resembelence to Stella McCartney clothing line. Victoria Becham's spring/summer 2012 collection looked inspired from both Celine AND Stella!!
Only thing that I want to say is that isn't there a difference between 'GETTING INSPIRED' and 'COPYING'?????????????
