Project Runway’s Gordana Gehlhausen is being accused of copying designs from celebrity jewelry maker Michaela Kuechenhoff, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Jewelry design by Michaela or by Gordana?
Michaela, who has created jewelry for Jessica Simpson, Fergie and Juliette Lewis, tells RadarOnline.com: “I hate things like this, but I have to start protecting my designs.”

She says the two met a year ago, when Gordana, who was in Project Runway 6, invited her to be in a show at LA Fashion Week.
When Michaela picked up her jewelry a few weeks later, she says Gordana “had copied one of the designs.”

Since then she says Gordana has copied two other designs including “a new square design, I wanted to mass produce. It’s my favorite design, everyone liked it. I can’t mass produce it now!”

Jody Auslund, publicist for Gordana tells RadarOnline.com: "We deny those defamatory allegations and because of the legal nature of the matter, we can not discuss it further."
Ironically, the two designers were in a show Friday night in San Diego.
Michaela tells RadarOnline.com: “I’m almost afraid to show pieces tonight, because who knows what will happen.”

Actually those are not copies. micha isn't the only one designing shoulder bling of chunky necklaces. How do you know they didnt shop at the same places for their jewelry pieces?

FYI. Gordana has paid thousands of dollars to be in gifting suites to TRY to get celebrities to wear her clothing & jewelry. Micha has NEVER had to pay a celebrity to wear her designs or pay to be in magazines.

For Micha to go around bashing someone makes her look desperate and sad. Team Gordana.

Micha is not the only designer creating chunky necklaces and she needs to check her ego at the door if she thinks a talented designer like Gordana gives a rats a$$ about her designs.

FYI. Gordana was 4th runner up on season 6 of project runway and one step away from bryant park. get your facts straight before making a comment.

This is silly. Micha designs r 100% original. I’ve seen her designs @ many shows, over many years, & these pieces were displayed by Micha over 6mos ago. BOTH designrs r wellknown in industry, so Micha does not need this kind of attn 4 her success.
