Forever 21 is no stranger to coming under fire for knocking off designers, but now it looks like the tables have turned. While browsing Saint Laurent's Fall/Winter 2015 collection, blogger Nicolette Mason noticed a familiar looking dress. She then took to Twitter to share a comparison between the design Heidi Slimane featured and an almost identical one sold at the mass retailer. 

Forever 21 was actually the first to carry the dress, releasing the design a couple years ago. Of course, it seems surprising that the luxury fashion house would steal from the fast fashion giant, but even more shocking is that it is charging almost $3,500 when the original dress was only $23. Of course, Forever 21 isn't the only one to release a black dress with lipstick print, but check out how similar the items look.
