We recently reported on Nelly Furtado performing in what looked to be one of Christopher Kane's creations – as it turns out, it's nothing but a cheap knock-off.
Celebrities play a massive role in promoting fashion - from upcoming talents to long-established luxury designers. Wearing a fake (on stage and in the press where it's bound to be seen by lots of people) is pretty much an insult to the person who put a lot of thought into designing something creative and unique, only to have it lazily copied by someone else.
I guess that despite the differences in the detailing of the dress, we never really considered that a big-name star would be cheeky enough to wear a cheap copy. Our apologies to Mr Kane, and we hope that celebrities wearing fakes doesn't become a trend.
The dress, a blatant copy of Christopher Kane's work.

She says: Vintage will never go out of style We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
