Filipino designer slams Miss Peru for copying his dress

Mark Bumgarner expresses anger that the beauty queen rips off a design of his dress for her wedding

23 Feb - Former Miss Peru, Laura Spoya has been accused of ripping off a dress by Filipino designer, Mark Bumgarner on her wedding day.

As reported on Push, Spoya had consulted Bumgarner in the past about purchasing his Clover dress - a high-neck midi dress with an oversized bow that was part of the designer's 2016 bridal collection.

However, Bumgarner stated that he continued with his work like usual after the beauty queen later told him that the wedding has been cancelled.

Imagine his surprise when he found out that Spoya did tie the knot back on 13 February, and wore a bridal dress similar to his creation.

In the comment section of his Instagram, Bumgarner stated, "She wanted to order this from me. We were talking for a long time. Then she said the wedding is cancelled for some time. Then I saw these photos on Instagram."

He later shared that Spoya has blocked him on Facebook, and that he only knew about the dress after someone tagged him to it.

An angry Bumgarner has called the replica a bad copy of his design and demanded Spoya to apologise to him.

The fashion designer also shared a video of his previous fashion show in which the dress first made its debut to further prove his point.
