The 'Outfit Look-Alikes' Thread

I think I like Lanvin's version best of all three. That shade of purple is such a rich, gorgeous color.

Alessandro Dell'Acqua FW 08 Mens v. Burberry SS 08

Alessandro Dell'Acqua FW 08 Mens v. Prada FW 07

They're not astoundingly similar, but the when I saw the two Dell'Acqua pieces, they immediately reminded me of the Burberry and the Prada ones!

^no biggie

I'd say Prada had the Margiela SS07 women in mind when she was designing for the menswear counterparts for FW08

^ Absolutely, I even saw some s/s 08 with the black gemetric bands and tops over the nude.

^ Three seemingly different dresses, and yet they all share subtle sweetheart necklines, belted waists and volume at the hips.

Good find SugarMe

But I mean they can't really copy one anther if the garments are from the same season? I guess lot of designers get the same ideas at the same time, get inspired from previous collections of other designers maybe, that's how trends evolve.

 

[dior_couture1245]

^^I've always thought about that myself....how different designer outfits can look almost identical in the same season.

 

[Spike413]

Those are the similarities that make this thread really interesting, the ones that happen within a four week span.

I thought that Monique Lhuillier dress looked similar to this Marc Jacobs F/W 07.08 piece. The only definite difference is the length, as you can see.

Imo Monique Lhuillier's stuff always have the feel of someone else's work...

This is too close for comfort I think, I much prefer the Jil Sander
Marc Jacobs SS07 / Jil Sander FW05

[elly9]

^ OMG they are almost identical

 

[rouge_red]

that's not true, is it? That is such a theft!

Tsk tsk Marc Jacobs!

Rue Du Mail SS08 vs. Chloe SS08

Clearly not the same construction, but the fabric and colours seemed similar enough to me. And on that same note, the trompe l'oeil effect...

^ Very interesting comparisons, especially the last one! I really hope the fake accessories printed on shirts/dresses trend isn't making a comeback. Assuming that's what those pieces are, of course.
