The fun thing about this account is that they do not shy away from putting up pictures of A-list celebrities in the copied designs and tag their respective stylists for not being good fact-checkers.

With over 80K followers, they have managed to call out high-profile designers like Falguni And Shane Peacock, Manish Malhotra and Swapnil Shinde for their “inspired” designs.

Thank you @deepikapadukone for throwing ‘radiating shade’ and wearing @manishmalhotra05 ... err... @zuhairmuradofficial (the OG designer) for your first #Cannes2018 red carpet appearance. LOL. Good job @shaleenanathani — this is meta! . . . #dietsabya #radiatingshade #gandi #copy #meta #?

Our favourite stylist @tanghavri’s efforts to convert @dishapatani into @bellahadid is truly remarkable. Bechari, Disha! (Bella in @daisydaisy.tv) . . And since when did Project Runway alum @officialswapnilshinde start making flirty, romantic dresses? ? . . #gandi #copy #? #dietsabya

And just recently, they even got the stamp of approval from their partial namesake Sabyasachi Mukherjee. The renowned designer has been quite vocal about the copying culture in fashion industry and has over 700 designs copyrighted. He was delighted with the work DietSabya is doing and considers his name being used as a homage.

The people have spoken ?. With 87% of you calling it out as a blatant @sabyasachiofficial copy. @hazoorilaljewellers care to explain? . . #gandi #copy #dietsabya #?

Plagiarism has always been a big issue in the fashion world and a lot of designers have complained about the laws not being good enough. In fact, many of you must have seen this scenario play out in places like Karol Bagh or Connaught Place where the random saree shop is selling “original copies” of couture designers.

Accounts like DietSabya certainly help the situation a lot more as designers and stylists would be more careful, even if it's just out of shame, before making a creative decision!
