Nelly Furtado wears a fake designer dress
Written by Tania Braukamper
We recently reported on Nelly Furtado performing in what looked to be one of Christopher Kane's creations – as it turns out, it's nothing but a cheap knock-off.
Celebrities play a massive role in promoting fashion - from upcoming talents to long-established luxury designers. Wearing a fake (on stage and in the press where it's bound to be seen by lots of people) is pretty much an insult to the person who put a lot of thought into designing something creative and unique, only to have it lazily copied by someone else.
I guess that despite the differences in the detailing of the dress, we never really considered that a big-name star would be cheeky enough to wear a cheap copy. Our apologies to Mr Kane, and we hope that celebrities wearing fakes doesn't become a trend.
The dress, a blatant copy of Christopher Kane's work.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
