I just thought the striped piping and the way the blazers are buttoned reminded me of Balenciaga F/W 2007; not necessarily look-alikes in a technical sense.

^^^ All three are variations of the classic tennis pullover. I’m sure if you dig a little further back, you’ll see the same colorway of this classic preppy sweater by Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, LL Bean, etc.

As for the piping of the Balenciaga/Rag & Bone pieces, isn’t the stripped piping more of a Victorian characteristic that’s found on many jackets of the time? It’s more of a traditional accent, like the tennis pullover, than anything that’s exclusive to any modern designer.

^ I think you and a lot of posters are missing the point of the thread. It's not about exclusive inspiration, stealing pieces or being original - it's called outfit look-alikes and that is exactly what is being posted.

^ I think Phuel was saying that to say that one tennis sweater is a look-alike of another tennis sweater is sort of redundant since they're all, at the end of the day, inspired by the exact same garment which has a sort of specific look. It'd be like saying that one light blue denim jacket is a look-alike of another light blue denim jacket, or that one black sheath is a look-alike of another black sheath.

Now if the Rag & Bone one maybe had some sort of lacing or openwork incorporated into it à la the Alexander Wang one it's being compared to, then you'd have more of a look-alike. When it comes to fairly straightforward pieces it's all about the finer points.

^^^ Thanks Spike for explaining my post clearer-- as always. I think I'm going to start looking into enrolling in some night courses for English LOL

I get that this may have started as a thread to not call out copycats-- but that's what it's evolved into. It is startling to see how some designers have clearly ripped off others-- not from decades ago, but mere seasons (or a season ago even). But it's also very possible it could merely be genuine coincidence.

Y'all should check out @diet_prada on Instagram.

I think its a fabulous account and seems to be the only voice that calls out the extreme lack of integrity so many "designers" have with the way they copy and steal from others, oftentimes shamelessly.

Weird and funny at the same time

^ OMG Victoria's Secret had a segment called Heavenly Bodies way back in 2010 and Magdalena F wore an outfit that looks like it inspired that first one. I can't seem to find a quotable pic since everything is on pinterest, but you can google it.
