Black Shoe Designer Calls Out PrettyLittleThing for Stealing Her Design

Black shoe designer @thedoseofdian calls out @prettylittlething for stealing her design from her @bydose collection, as seen this year in @voguemagazine @cosmopolitan @harpersbazaarus and @elleusa. Fast fashion company, Pretty Little Thing continues to get called out by indie designers, with designs stolen from yet Black Designer, @anifam of @hanifaofficial earlier this year for one of her signifier dresses from her capsule collection.
