White Swimsuit Designer Accused of Copying Nigerian Designer’s Work


Bfyne is a swimwear brand created by Nigerian-American Buki Ade, and now a representative of the label is accusing Brazilian designer Silvia Ulson of presenting their Spring/Summer 2017 “Shara” collection as her own during Miami Swim Week this past weekend, reports Fashion World Online.
The brand’s media director John Adele said, “during Miami Swim-week … Silvia Ulson featured Bfyne’s SS17 Sahara collection during her show. It comes to us as a surprise as to how another designer is allowed to showcase replicas, and claiming it as her original work during swim week.”
