The 'Outfit Look-Alikes' Thread

To bad she'll never be McQueen.

It's too bad, because she's really got a lot of potential. Unfortunately, she tends to ruin her pieces by applying too many "extra" pieces, like glitter and ruffles. Her Alexander McQueen inspired dress ends up looking cheap, not glamorous.
 
it gets more interesting when things pop up in the same season!!

Nice finds! Like you say, it's interesting when the pieces are from the same season, although it does confirm the look-alikes are coincidental and nothing else.
 
Not entirely alike in terms of design and material, but you get my idea.

Lanvin S/S 06 and Malo S/S 08

^^ wow to that!! looks like a gret mix of the MQ and Lanvin, no'?

although it's a bit more similar to the mqueen, you jsut can tell that the cut is not the same... the volume, the waist, proportion... only A DESIGNER can really do that!
 
^Yeah, I definately think the McQueen is most similar to the LAMB (and since Stefani frequently wears McQueen it probably was what is being directly ripped off). Still, the similarities to the Lanvin struck me
 
They aren't STRIKINGLY similar, but I though this John Galliano SS 07 dress had a similar feeling to this Givenchy HC FW 07 (same color, one shoulder, metallic detailing on the torso)-

^ That's a really good comparison actually.

Donna Karan s/s 06 and Marc Jacobs s/s 08, it's kind of vague, but the similarities are there (I'm slightly ashamed to say I like the Marc Jacobs one better)

The marc has the flesh colored material underneath as well? Why?
 
^ According to Cathy Horyn, she has the exact same top (same pattern, I mean) in linen from the late 80's....so there's more than one similarity that goes with that top.
 
Though the execution and fabrication are diffefrent, I think the source of inspiration is from a same place..
