Who Is Katy Perry Fashion Stylist

Much like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry's way influences become apparent very quickly. Katy seems to mostly jack from Betty Page and Dita Von Teese, so add together a dash of Japanese cartoons. Now, I'chiliad non really claiming that Dita Von Teese is the outset person in modern style history to ever do this vintagey-pinup matter, simply Dita does it really, really well, she's super-committed to the look, and she's really a educatee of the 1940s-1950s mode era, to the signal where she's likely an expert at this betoken. Anyway, Folio Six has an interesting story near people calling Katy out on her blatant theft of Dita's look, in general and specifically on the cover of Vanity Fair:

Imitation may exist the sincerest grade of flattery — but Katy Perry's new Vanity Fair cover appears to be an almost exact copy of a 2008 Dita von Teese pose.

Perry's provocative pose on the encompass of the June effect, shot by famed photographer Annie Liebovitz and styled past the mag's mode and mode manager Jessica Diehl, has sparked whispers that the pop star is ripping off burlesque star von Teese's style.
Perry is also quoted in the magazine equally proverb: "I looked into what was out there and I didn't see anyone like me . . . my style, my opinion."

Yes, apart from von Teese's almost identical pose, pilus and outfit at a 2008 Wonderbra Lingerie Collection launch in London. Photos tin nevertheless be seen on fan Web sites for the sultry star.

A source said: "Images in this shoot appear to be a direct homage to Dita von Teese. Information technology is surprising that Katy claims to be such an original in the interview."

Von Teese herself appears to have the faux as flattery. She told us at the party she hosted at Los Feliz to launch her Cointreau cocktail: "People take always copied my style. I used to have friends who would dye their pilus exactly the same shade equally mine. I run across information technology as a compliment." Of Perry, she added: "Katy and I are friends. She comes to a lot of my shows, merely she [recently] came backstage and said: 'I am taking all of this (gesturing at her hair and costume).' "

This isn't the first time Liebovitz has been accused of borrowing iconic images for inspiration. Her 2008 Vogue comprehend featuring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen was said to be an homage to a Globe War I Regular army recruitment poster. Liebovitz argued she hadn't seen the poster.

Reps for Vanity Fair and Perry didn't get back to us. Leibovitz responded: "I'd never seen the Wonderbra ad. Katy's is a classic pose as old as the hills."

I went dorsum and plant the sometime 2008 images of Dita, and while I wouldn't say Katy and Annie Liebovtiz jacked the entire look and way, the similarities are certainly hitting, specially when you're looking at hair, makeup and the color of the bustier.

It besides sounds like Dita's not offended – but that she wants to brand sure that people know Katy is copying her. Dita is so swish. I love her so much.
