Hayley feels her design (on the left) has been copied by New Look
Dundee fashion designer Hayley Scanlan has accused a major high street retailer of stealing her designs.
Ms Scanlan, who has twice been named Young Scottish Designer of the Year at the Scottish Fashion Awards, has contacted fashion chain New Look to allege the theft of one of her T-shirt designs.
Hayley is “gobsmacked” by what she sees as plagiarism
In an angry social media post, the 32-year-old designer said: “Not only have you completely copied the name of my last collection (and also noticeably the “Stay True” part my sister & I came up with) but you’ve used pretty much the exact same font for a T-shirt currently selling in your stores and online, blatantly making money from my work.
“I am actually gobsmacked.”
Bloggers and fans have since branded the alleged plagiarism “outrageous”.
New Look has confirmed it will be investigating the allegations.
