1/6Pakistani designers copy Indian designers
13
While we proudly flaunt lawn suits procured from Pakistan, some well-known designers from our neighbouring country have started taking some serious inspiration from the biggest names in the Indian fashion industry and mind it, the 'inspiration' is so strong that their garments end up looking like replicas of the original designs.
In the past, there have been quite a few incidents of Indian designers copying western designs, but Pakistanis seem to be way ahead of us in this game of inspiration! Here's a look at some Pakistani outfits that have been blatantly copied from those designed by Indian designers.
2/6A made in Pakistan 'Manish Malhotra'?
0
Imagine Pakistan's beautiful women donning breathtaking Manish Malhotra creations, the only difference being the fact that those ensembles have actually not been designed by Manish Malhotra. One such outfit invited a lot of wrath on social media and it was designed by none other than Elan - a leading design house of Pakistan with popular coveted couture, pret-a-porter and a ready-to-wear lines.
3/6Dear Sabyasachi, make way for Sabyajhooti

As if the Chandni Chowk made cheap replicas of ace designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's latest creations were not enough! Well, the master craftsman has to now battle out his counterfeit clothing being churned out in thousands every month in the bylanes of Lahore. But, it's not only the local shops that have been openly copying his designs, a lot of big names in the Pakistani fashion industry are following the suit. The above lookalike of Sabya's ivory-gold lehenga has been designed by famous Pakistani designer, Ayesha Aejaz.
4/6A copy of Anita Dongre

Anita Dongre must not have known that her winter 2017 collection 'Tree of Love' would become such a hit all across that a Pakistani label would actually rip it off and add it to their own collection. Well, that's precisely what Cross Stitch (Pakistan's leading fashion retail clothing and fabric brand) did when they copied this particular kurta for their lawn 2018 collection.
5/6Sabya, again?

Pakistanis seem to be in love with all the Sabyasachi Mukherjee creations and not only is he the most popular wedding designer in Pakistan pretty much like India, but also the most-copied across the border! And, Cross Stitch seems to a serial defaulter when it comes to copying creations of Indian designers! Check the golden floral embroidery on the two garments on the right, isn't it similar to the original on the left?
6/6Atsu sari and its Pakistani version
0
This gorgeous embellished yellow sari was a part of designer Atsu's 2014 couture collection, but a similar sari was found in the collection of famous designer Alisha Hashmi as well.
