Designer Paris Starn has spoken up about Red Velvet’s outfits allegedly plagiarizing her designs.

She posted the following message on her clothing brand Paris 99’s official Instagram, stating that the garments worn by Red Velvet took “heavy inspiration” from her work and that SM Entertainment had never reached out to her about a collaboration.

The clothing worn by Red Velvet for their new track “Umpah Umpah” are checkered dresses with wavy strips at their hems.

For comparison, below is Red Velvet’s teaser image, followed by photos of Paris 99’s dresses.

SM Entertainment has not made a public response yet.
