Lulu DK x WeWoreWhat jewelry collaboration
Danielle Bernstein, a New York-based fashion influencer, has launched her own jewelry line, Lulu DK x WeWoreWhat. However, the line has received a lot of scrutiny. Many of the pieces from the collection are very similar to other brands, causing industry insiders to question if Bernstein is guilty of plagiarism.
The allegations started when Diet Prada, an Instagram account dedicated to calling out fashion influencers, posted photos of Bernstein’s jewelry collection with other jewelry lines. Some users noticed a very similar look to other designer’s pieces. They also vowed to unfollow Bernstein.
After being accused of plagiarism, Bernstein released a long apology on her Instagram story. She said that the accusations were “reprehensible” and that she never experienced malicious hate in her life. In addition to the rebuke from Diet Prada, Bernstein had to deal with a lawsuit from Brooklyn lingerie brand, The Great Eros.
Litigation against lingerie brand The Great Eros
A lingerie brand and its owner have been embroiled in legal trouble. They have been accused of copying designs and trademark violations. The Great Eros is a small business, but they are looking to protect their brand.
They have named retailers and others who sell their apparel. This includes Shopbop, Saks Fifth Avenue and Carbon 38.
The Great Eros says Bernstein stole their design. In their complaint, they claim that Bernstein copied the signature tissue paper design and a line drawing of female nudes. It is also alleged that Bernstein used the same pattern on her swimwear.
Bernstein claims she did not copy the designs and does not intend to steal anything from The Great Eros. She said that she did not want to cause any problems for the brand.
