Rumors are swirling that Victoria Beckham may have copied a dress from British desinger Osman Yousefzada's fall 2009 collection. Osman first showed his flowing wrapped column dress with internal corset in his fall 2009 collection and, ever since a dress with a similar structure and shape appeared on Victoria's NY catwalk in February, the fashionistas have been whispering about the similarity.
"A lot of people have mentioned the similarity to me and of course it is very flattering. I created the dress by wrapping my bathroom towel at first to get the shape, and then by doing the same thing with material and securing it with an internal corset, so the fabric is allowed to move effortlessly," the designer explained. "It is very flattering to think she may have tried my dress and been inspired to create something similar, since it means she must have liked the way the dress was cut and the way it felt to wear. I like to dress powerful, confident women so it's great to think the dress might have inspired her."

Victoria is said to have borrowed the pale blue gown from the designer's atelier last year, but returned it without buying it.
A spokesman for VB said: "Column dresses have been around for decades, probably even longer. In addition, Victoria has had variations of the column dress in all her previous collections so any suggestion of plagiarism is nonsense!"
What do you guys think about this?
