John Galliano is in hot water over accusations of plagiarism from photographer William Klein (his work, left), who says his signature style of painting over contact sheets was copied in a recent Galliano ad campaign, right. Perhaps Galliano's biggest mistake was to run the ads in French Vogue, because a retrospective of Klein's work in Paris left the images fresh in people's minds -- and especially Galliano's, who claims he was "inspired" by Klein. (Once again, the word "inspired" seems to be a substitute for "copied"). Notice how the Kate Moss/Calvin Klein ad campaign managed to escape notice. [via Vogue.com, Fashion Spot, Fashionologie]
