Valentino F/W 04___________________________Lanvin S/S 04

All pics from Style.com

These both remind me of this Versace HC collection from s/s 96, the Valentino more than the Lanvin, but still, the similarity is there.

also these two Prada looks
f/w 00 and f/w 02

Prada f/w 97 and f/w 02 (just in the bead-work and sheer overlay details)

Roberto Cavalli s/s 02 and Gaultier HC s/s 05 (it's a bit of a stretch)

^That first Prada dress is the ugliest, most unflattering thing I've laid eyes upon recently. And I don't think the second comparison is too much of a stretch at all.

It's practically the exact same thing. The first one looks far better, though.

the f/w 2004 versace tweeds looked very similar to the ones junya watanabe presented for fall 2001 (sorry, best image i could find)

I wonder if they took inspiration from Audrey Hepburn in "How to Steal A Million"

correct, welcome to tFS theGlory

what a brilliant thread, thanks for reviving this guys

Great thread. I read an article some time ago on how Ghesquire, reproduced this dead designer's vest, stitch for stitch in his famed patchwork collection and didn't credit him. Inspiration has to come from somewhere. No one is a true original except God.

while these designs have a lot of differences, the design around the neck is very similar

chloe s/s & f/w were basically the same collection!

i assume Phoebe Philo's design team didn't want to stray too far from her vision of Chloé while she was on maternity leave. well played.

kim, fabulous idea!

Wow... I this thread! Keep posting guys...

I wonder how come some of the designs look very similar to the other

Was the fairy god of inspiration come to several designers at once?

 

[Spike413]

You can't see it as well because it's fliped down but this Gucci coat has a similar neck as well.
