Beyonce Knowles accused of lifting leggings design

London (ANI): Beyonce Knowles is facing accusations that she copied the design for a pair of leggings which feature in her fashion brand's latest collection. The 'Crazy In Love" created much hysteria when she was recently pictured topless in a sho1ot for her House of Dereon range, wearing nothing but fake tattoos and a pair of tight black trousers covered in silver studs.

However, now bosses at an Icelandic clothing company have alleged that the House of Dereon trousers look similar to a pair of E-label leggings, which Beyonce was allegedly, spotted buying in London last year (09).

"This is naturally huge and I am still half in shock. I didn't twig (realise) straight away that this was her own label: I just thought she was wearing our leggings. It is practically just copy/paste," the Daily Star quoted E-label co-owner Helba Hallgrimsdottir as saying.
