The European brand E-Label has recently accused Beyonce of stealing their designs for her line House of Dereon. The owners specifically point to a pair of leggings, (pictured above) which they say look eerily similar to the the pair of 'Heavy Metal' leggings from their Fall/Winter 2010 Collection (pictured below).

One of the labels' owners, Heba Hallgrimsdottir made a statement addressing the incident:
"This is naturally huge and I am still half in shock. I didn't [recognize] straight away that this was her own label: I just thought she was wearing our leggings. It is practically just copy/paste...I have only just heard about this and no decision has yet been taken. We need to inspect her brand's trousers closer because, according to law, it is not copied if a certain number of things have been changed from the original design."
What do you think? Does E-Label have a case?

I only agree with DimePiece on one thing, the irrelevant comments need to go. So guoshi2b, you need to take your spamming and trolling somewhere else. SN: I don't think E-Label has a good case. Beyonce's pants have a similar design but the difference is clearly noticeable @ the top of the thigh.

She didn't rip off those hairstyles, those are 80s throwback hairstyles. Nothing new @ all.

Garlene,
Yeah, it's 80's hairstyle and needs to stay BACK in the 80's. I was saying, she doesn't have to FOLLOW like other artist's who are wearing that hair style now? She can have a style that nobody has and not a style from the PAST. All I am sayin is people need to be ORIGINIAL PERIOD, wether it be clothes, hairstyles, ect.... The comment I made about her hair, tats on her body, in my opinion, ties in with the article (copy, rip off,) and is all relevant to fashion. That's my opinion. I hope BV will get rid of people posting irrelevant comments because it is TAKING UP TOO MUCH SPACE.
peace.

Big surprise that big business getting rob by big names. They think anything is theirs cause they "pioneered" the style. But everything has been done before, hey maybe they just want to save their millions in this economy. http://bit.ly/samplecenter

BeYAWNce's TSZT (Tit Sucking Zombie Trolls) are at it once again. They will SCREAM to the hills it's a coincidence, but we all know she doesn't have an original bone in her body. She has always been the queen of copycats.
