I won't be writing about Lady Gaga because there's nothing else to say rather than she's just a "sponge", stealing from Madonna to David Bowie, artists that she supposedly "admire so much" but to add to this topic, this weekend emerged the story that Beyonce has been accused of copying a routine from two of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's productions.
Writing in a Danish blog, Keersmaeker says, "I didn't know anything about this. I'm not mad, but this is plagiarism... This is stealing. They took pieces from Achterland and Rosas danst Rosas. It's a bit rude, I must say. What's rude about it is that they don't even bother about hiding it. They seem to think they could do it because it's a famous work... Am I honoured? Look, I've seen local school kids doing this. That's a lot more beautiful." Well said Anne Teresa !
Now this morning I discovered this Dolce e Gabbana ad copying an Yves Saint Laurent ad back in the 60's (let's note that for the first time, a fashion brand steals another...).
I wonder is there a serious and appalling lack of creativity in today's fashion and music industry? I do think so...
