The piracy paradox<\/a> of fast fashion.<\/p>\n

Megan Thee Stallion\u2019s highly anticipated collaboration with Fashion Nova dropped last week and although it reportedly brought in $1.2 million in the first 24 hours of its release, Megan is facing accusations that some of her \u201csignature\u201d pieces were actually appropriated from other creatives. Specifically, designer Aazhia took to IG Live to call Megan out on stealing a unique dress from her TLZ L\u2019Femme<\/a> collection. Megan\u2019s version for #FNxMEG, titled the Chase the Bag Should Pad Mini Dress<\/a>, features a similar boxy top, high neckline and long cloth draped down the front.<\/p>\n

Aazhia posted a side by side of the seemingly identical dresses along with a previous text from one of Megan\u2019s representatives asking the designer if they \u201ccould pull the [look] from [her]\u201d for an event Megan was attending in LA. The caption read, \u201cIMA BREAK THIS DOWN REAL SIMPLE! MY DRESS WAS STOLEN AND USED IN THIS MEGAN X FN COLLAB! WAS I TOLD? NO! WAS I COMPENSATED? NO!\u201d Aazhia, whose brand has been worn by the likes of Beyonc\u00e9, Bebe Rexha, Kali Uchis, Cardi B, Kylie Jenner and Rosal\u00eda went on to assert, \u201cHER AND HER TEAM ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF [MY] BRAND AND THIS WAS APPROVED BY HER!\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Megan defended herself in an interview with \u201cThe Morning Hustle\u201d claiming that often her team talks to people and makes decisions without consulting her. Megan emphasized the design wasn\u2019t stolen \u2013 \u201cit\u2019s been a dress that has been done a lot over the years.\u201d \u00a0Even so, Megan stated that she would have made amends with Aazhia had she approach to the situation differently: \u201cIt\u2019s a way to come at people. If it would have been a real misunderstanding, I wouldn\u2019t have had a problem with saying, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m sorry sis. Let me check my stylist, don\u2019t do that, it\u2019s not right.\u2019 I would have had the dress taken down, whatever the money made from the dress, I would have gave the money to the girl\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
