Outfit look-alikes #2

[Squizree]

Are you sure? I could've sworn it was one of the latest collections.

I'm positive. That Halston book was published in 1999, so the photograph is at least that old.

The company is no doubt churning out re-worked Halston vintage.

I can't say I see much of a similarity anyway.

Chanel F/W 2009 HC and Zuhair Murad F/W 2010

style, zuhairmurad

A 'true testament' to his horridly derivative clothes.

This Ungaro Fall/Winter 2010 dress reminds me a bit of Stefano's debut collection for YSL, Spring/Summer 2005.

^The Ungaro Shoes actually remind me of These Fendi Shoes from Fall 2007

Sorry, had to post because this has really annoyed me...
ok, Alex Perry show that was on yesterday, and Dolce & Gabbana
(Source vogue.com.au & style.com)

Wouldn't irritate me so much if Alex Perry's theme wasn't 'Arabian Princess'.
Since when do arabian princesses walk down the street in a jacket and underwear? Not impressed Mr. Perry...

Interesting feature on style.com

For an industry as obsessed with change as fashion is, there certainly were plenty of designers thinking about the past this season. Miuccia Prada said she was revising things she did in the nineties (though, it must be said, most of her almost-15-year-old designs look just as modern today as they did during the Clinton years). Marc Jacobs, who told us it was refreshing to stop trying so hard to be new, tweaked signatures like tweedy three-quarter-length coats and long skirts. And at Dolce & Gabbana, a video showing Domenico Dolce expertly tailoring a jacket was a moving backdrop to the parade of trademark sexy suits he and Stefano Gabbana sent down the runway. As far as trends go, this return to roots is about as customer-friendly as they come. After all, how else would these pieces become classics if they weren’t beloved in the first place?

LOL Chanel is a given. You're going to see the same suit jacket season after season after season.

A patchwork vest by Kaisik Wong, a California designer of the 70's, and an outfit from Balenciaga S/S 2002 collection. He admitted that he had copied it line for line; maybe it was already posted, but in case it wasn't:

Chanel 1983 and Chanel S/S 2007:

I do miss this kind of shows at Chanel...

I really dont see anything wrong with copying previous works from the house's archives. Sure it's uncreative and repetitive but in a way it's a tribute to the house's heritage.

The Balenciaga rip is shameless plagiarism.
