“Sometimes it makes you feel hopeless. I understand using ideas for inspiration. I personally do it and everyone in the history of fashion has done it,” Marie explains. “But from what I’ve seen so far, this isn’t inspiration, it’s pure plagiarism.

I try to always look on the bright side, remind myself that imitation is flattery and that I’m onto the next thing. But still it hurts.”
