I see so many of these copycat pieces at Forever 21. Seriously, from Balmain to Alexander Wang to Chanel… you can pretty much find New York Fashion Week at Forever 21. I don’t know how to feel about it! It’s great because I’m a student & on a budget, but at the same time, it just feels wrong. =/

I had a look at the Topshop site last night and came across this skirt:

http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=true&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=151408&parent_category_rn=85550&productId=1433458&langId=-1

I thought that it was “inspired” Isabel Marant’s FW 09 collection. Great price, though!!

I think it’s hard to prove were inspiration starts and copying begins.

is it legal to do such things? I noticed various of times when clothes from asos, yoox, etc were almost identical with other designer clothes. yes, we can say that fashion is predictable, but why copy perfectly something when you can just be inspired, I don’t know, change the fabric, shorten the hem, stuff like this. otherwise, for me it is plagiarism. on the other hand, it is topshop who does this, not a small shop from the countryside. so?
