It is by far - and we weigh our words - the worst thing that can happen to us at an evening. Falling on an ex? Letting go of a doubtful valve? Engaging in embarrassing behaviors following moderate alcohol consumption? No. What girls are afraid of is getting dressed in exactly the same way as another guest. One thought to make sensation with a unique style, meticulously calculated, long reflected and here a second (see a third) woman on Earth had the same idea, at the same moment. It is vexing, disturbing, embarrassing and it does not matter its degree of worldliness.
For no one is spared, including the privileged guests invited to the parades. Thus, in October 2015, 7 editors were spotted at the Louis Vuitton parade with exactly the same dress. Hashtag malaise.

"Of course it does not work with all the clothes but in this case I return my dress.

Rather funny not? "

Neither one nor two, I unfasten the first buttons, pull my arms off the sleeves and slide the collar of my blouse around my chest. The last touch: tie the sleeves on the front, at chest height to prevent them from hanging . Neither seen nor known, I had changed my shirt into a pretty bustier . "
Lola , 23, McGyver of fashion
"I have already prepared myself psychologically for this situation and here is my plan of action: unfortunate reversal of my glass of wine on the girl who had the audacity to copy me. Cruel but effective. "
Camille, 25, without fear or reproach
