TopShop vs. Balenciaga


It looks like TopShop have taken inspiration for their Floral Zip Jacket and skirt from Balenciaga's Spring 2008 collection.

The jacket is very similar to the Balenciaga jacket, as they both have the structured puff sleeves, high neck and blue floral colour element.

The TopShop ensemble cost £100 in total, whereas the Balenciaga skirt alone cost £915.

I have tried the TopShop ensemble on and it looks really fantastic, although I am not sure if I purchased it where I would wear it. A Star Trek convention maybe?

You could pair the top with jeans and wear the skirt with a puffed sleeve t-shirt or a simple singlet layered with necklaces. Wearing them both together wouldn't be the best option for every day.

Hi there-I love this topshop ensemble-I suppose you could wear it for a wedding or garden party type event, or as mint suggested, wearing them separately-thanks for stopping by my blog!!

yes, i could see the topshop ensemble at a summer garden party or cocktail event. i'd be fierce and wear them together, instead of wimping out and separating them!
