Diet Prada Calls out Virgil Abloh for Yet Another Uncredited Design
Stemming from a master copy by Japanese label, ANREALAGE.
It appears as though Virgil Abloh is once again a hot topic of discussion for Diet Prada, calling out the noted designer for a new uncredited design. Last week, the fashion industry police account revealed that Abloh’s “MARKERAD” project with IKEA unveiled a chair design that it claims was boosted from designer Paul McCobb.
And now, according to a recent Instagram post from Diet Prada, Abloh’s Off-White™ imprint crafted a hoodie as part of a “pattern cutting challenge” that looked eerily similar to a concept piece fashioned by Japanese label ANREALAGE. In that same social media post, ANREALAGE worked on a garment project that included draping certain pieces over geometrical shapes — likely to showcase each item’s adaptability and versatility. Similar to the chair example, Diet Prada does not point a finger at Abloh for taking credit on an original design, but instead questions why the master copy wasn’t properly acknowledged.
