Fefe Dobson is an unknown Candian singer that released her first album is 2003, around the same time as Avril Lavigne. She quickly turned heads as a black girl with a punk rock edge which hasn't been done before. But hold on, does she look kinda like someone we know?
Meet Rihanna, who is taken the world by storm with her edgey punk rock style. Glamour Magazine quotes her as having a "little-bit-punky, very much girly look". With the success of her number one hit "Umbrella", Rihanna has become an overnight fashion icon. Young girls all over the world have been rocking the now famous "Rihanna cut". She seems to have the world following her own trends rather than following anyone else's.But still, Fefe Dobson and Rihanna's looks are far too similar to ignore. And with Rihanna admitting to be a fan of hers, one can only wonder if Rihanna's style is as original as everybody thinks...
Wow. Same hairstyles, same dress sense, even right down to the same tats! It's worth noting that Fefe Dobson first came on the scene in '03, long before Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad phase. But even if Rihanna did copy her, it doesn't matter now because nobody know who the heck Fefe Dobson is...Right? Here what Ms.Dobson had to say about the similarities in hers and Rihanna's style, "I try to take Rihanna bitting my style as a compliment. It get a little much when she starts getting the same tattoos as me"....Ouch!
So what do we think, is Rihanna really a Trendsetter or a Swagga Jacker???
neither. She, like everyone else, has a stylist. It's a bit of a coincidence that Rihanna started her career with long flowing hair, and then emerges with short, edgy hair. And coincidentally her debut album was entitled "Music of the Sun" and now her album's called "Good Girl Gone Bad".(plus all the drama with Chris Brown, tattoos, etc). Not quite so clever marketing technique if you ask me.

ReplyDeleteI love Fefe, If u don't know who she is... wow. Rihanna has a different swag but her ideas are not her own obviously. She needs to find herself. That's taking away Fefe's Shine. She is clearly jacking someone else look...if u don't see a prob. with that then you should have no prob. with everyone looking and sounding like copy cats :)
