Is Murphy’s Law haunting top hallyu actress Yoon Eun-hye?
The actress is embroiled in another allegation of plagiarism.
In the third episode of Chinese TV program, “The Goddesses’ New Outfit,” the actress made a balloon shape dress with illustrations as if children drew the pictures with crayons.
The theme of the episode was “Childlike Innocence.” Local media reported on Tuesday that the design was allegedly similar to a dress from 2015 F/W Dolce and Gabbana. The Dolce and Gabbana design is an off-shoulder neckline dress, while Yoon’s piece is a skirt.
In the episode, which aired on Tuesday, Yoon brought a black and white long dress, saying she got the idea from the film“Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” But the dress is similar to a design from BCBG MAXAZRIA. The BCBG dress also has a similar black and white pattern.
On Monday, the actress denied copying the work of Korean designer Yoon Choon-ho, saying the idea came from other fashion brands such as Victor & Rolf and Lanvin.
