Stoppppppppp Theif: Young Designer Jessica Rogers Spots Nicki Minaj Rocking A Knock Off Copy of Her ‘Puff Ball’ Fashion; Rogers Says She Was ‘In Tears’ Over It

September 15, 2011 |  by  |  Fashion, Stop Theif  |  Share

Rogers tells Fashionista.com that Nicki Minaj‘s stylists had contacted her in the past about using some of her clothing–among them a Puff Ball dress–however once Rogers sent further images of her work, she never heard back from Minaj’s team. Rogers said she even followed up a month later, sending more images of her puff ball garments, eager for the prospect of working with such a big-name star.

Rogers was particularly upset that the hip-hop artist chose to wear a copy of her original garment during Fashion Week–an industry event the young designer has been aspiring to participate and show in. “I am very upset by the fact that she was sitting next to Anna Wintour,” she said. “I admire Anna Wintour very much and I was hoping that one day she would see my garments and it would be the first time that she would see Puff Balls used as i use them.”

That sucks! Team Minaj,please allow her to desgin a few fits for a couple shows you plan to attend. I am sure Nicki will fix this(I hope).
