Déjà vu, (/ˌdeɪʒɑː ˈvuː/) from French, literally "already seen", is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has actually happened or not.
Let me show you two dresses that gave me that experience, though they are not the only dresses that have given me "Deja Vu" I kept the hair (Wasabi Pills "Claire") and shoes (Hucci "Glynco") minimalistic, and didn't wear jewellery to show off the dresses without distraction
This one is the Roksanda Bodycon dress from Liv-Glam
This one is the Suede draped dress from Cynful.
While the textures are different it's obvious they're from the same sourced template. These two are not the only versions of this template I've seen, it's everywhere. It's a nice dress, but not everyone needs to be making their own version of it.
Let me be blunt. Designers, if you don't do your own mesh, try to use templates that aren't being used by every "Art School Girl" with competent photoshop texture skills out there. Becuase otherwise, we get dozens of variants of the same dress to sort through. Not only that, even though there's a glut of this "slap some nice textures on templates" stuff, it doesn't seem to keep some designers from charging premium prices. If there's a dozen versions of a template dress..you might not want to charge something like L$500 for a single color, perhaps not even L$300.
[UPDATE} For the edification of readers I decided to add the actual prices of each of the dresses:
The Liv-Glam version is L$ 375, and includes six color variants. There is also a floral print-pattern version that also has six variants included for L$375
The Cynful version is L$265 for each individual color.
There's nothing inherently wrong with using templates....the problem is when the same ones are used by a large amount of people, then we get a glut of sameness and lookalikes.
