It was recently revealed that the gorgeous red and white outfit that Girls' Generation wore at 'KBS Music Festival' was similar to an outfit that was introduced by 'Dolce&Gabbana' for their Spring 2015 collection.
On December 29, one fan asked the idol group's stylist through Twitter, "Is the Girls' Generation outfit at 'KBS Music Festival' copied from 'Dolce&Gabbana'? Or is it an homage?"
The stylist replied, "It is an homage. How do you plagiarize something that you've never seen... I really liked the way [the outfit] looked and thought that it would be really pretty. So we went with the concept, adding the hair and red-lip... If it is so similar that it could be called a copy, then it would be a compliment to our team, which manually stitched [the outfit] all night, to say that the outfits are of the same quality as a brand name's.Until the day that 'Dolce&Gabbana' sponsors outfits like they do for pop stars~~"
The stylist's name and Twitter account has not been revealed.
The outfit that Girls' Generation members wore at '2014 KBS Music Festival' was a simple over-sized white shirt paired with high-waisted red shorts embroidered with elegant beads. The outfit that was introduced by 'Dolce&Gabbana' for their Spring 2015 collection was styled similarly with the white shirt and embroidered high-waisted shorts. The only difference seems to be the black shirt worn underneath.

Meanwhile, Seo Soo Kyung, who has worked as a Girls' Generation stylist for about 11 years now, uploaded an email sent to Tiffany from 'Dolce&Gabbana' co-founders Domenico and Stefano on December 10.
The email stated, "To Tiffany, we saw that you had worn a 'Dolce&Gabbana' dress at the '2014 MAMA.' You really looked great in it! Your wearing our dress was very significant to us, and it also gave us some inspiration. From Domenico and Stefano."
Netizens pointed out that the email stated above indicated that the stylists had been in contact with the brand prior to '2014 KBS Music Festival.'
The response from netizens are rather negative as they left comments saying, "Is it just okay to plagiarize once you use the word homage?" "She basically plagiarized but said that she didn't. That's absurd," and "She answered so confidently."
