Dior's refusal to admit plagiarism has aroused public outrage, and the designer's inside story has been exposed. Netizens: What do you think about rejecting cultural plagiarism?

Dior refused to admit plagiarism and caused public outrage. The horse-faced dress went on sale but was sold out instantly. The official announcement was very popular. Whether Dior admits it or not, he did offend the wrong person this time. Recently, Han Daiji, a domestic Hanfu original studio, issued an article questioning whether a newly launched dress by Dior with a price of 29,000 yuan is suspected of plagiarizing the Chinese dress horse face skirt. Not only that, the suspenders worn on the upper body of this Dior skirt are also very similar to the 2021 new model of Handaiji.

As soon as the video was released, it caused dissatisfaction. Many netizens accused the brand of plagiarizing Chinese culture. At the same time, entries related to Dior plagiarism also became hot searches. From the photos, we can see that this Dior skirt has slits on the front and back between the entire fabric and the pleats. Not only is the appearance highly similar to the Chinese horse-faced skirt, but even the details are very similar.

The product introduction on Dior's official website does not mention the horse skirt at all. Instead, it says that it uses the iconic Dior silhouette and combines French and Korean culture. Dior's behavior of refusing to admit plagiarism is too immoral, but in fact it is not just Dior. Chinese cultural popular elements have always been an important source of inspiration for the Western art world to imitate.

In 2015, a Tang Dynasty pipa was exhibited at Shosoin in Japan, causing quite a stir. Some scholars discovered that the pattern on this pipa is very similar to the famous logo pattern of luxury goods LV. Chinese culture belongs to China and the world. If we openly acknowledge the traditional Chinese elements, no one will say anything. However, if we refuse to acknowledge them after using them, it would be too much to smear Chinese culture.

In fact, not long ago, Dior caused public controversy because of a promotional photo with squinting eyes. In the photo, an Asian woman holding a Dior bag had dark skin, freckles on her face, sinister eyes, and a fierce face. , no sense of beauty. Amid accusations from all sides, Dior has never apologized. After Dior's suspected plagiarism was revealed this time, it still has not responded to the matter. However, according to Dior’s official website on July 16, this mid-length skirt has been sold out online.

People's Daily Online called on Dior to respond to netizens' concerns as soon as possible. This is not only an internationally renowned company's responsibility for its own corporate culture, but also a tribute to the world's history and cultural heritage. Dior must understand that the global Consumers are not only watching, but also voting based on Dior's performance. I have to say that the official announcement is really satisfying. I hope Dior will respond as soon as possible. What do you think of this?
