    Herrera, as a fashion design-obsessed person without the attention span or patience to learn how to sew, THANK YOU.

    Although, I do think draping is fun.

    If Liz Claiborne is only gonna be sold at JC Penney, that means every Belk I've ever been in is gonna need something to fill half a women's department.

    FINALLY someone goes after Madden. I thought Jimmy Choo was going to be the first to sue.
    I think goods being "inspired" by the designer originals is OK, but when they look the same, someone needs to get dragged to court.
    Maybe that's how Madden avoided suits before? Usually the shoes aren't total knockoffs.

    @greengrey: What I'm wondering is how all of those Birkenstock Boston knock-offs at Wal-Mart are legal. If that isn't, then those certainly aren't. Also, Payless Uggs? I understand why McQueen is pissed, I would be too, but this has been going on forever, how can they legislate it?

    @greengrey: How does ABS deal with those copies of the Oscar dresses? Is it because they're just slightly different enough?

    Unrelated to legalities? I admit I'm a frump but I think the entire concept of open-toed, zippered, spike heel booties are horrifyingly ugly and I can't believe that two different companies are making them.

    @greengrey: I think that copyrights work differently for fabrics and things like shoes than they do for pictures.

    However, I don't think your example would be illegal. I could paint Starry Night, call it something else, and sell it as my own work as long as Van Gogh's estate doesn't send me a cease and desist letter.

    @Theomeny: Not ok at all! Clothing/shoes can be heavily protected by route of design patents and trade dress. Enforcing protected designs against knockoffs is a huge IP issue that generates a great deal of litigation. When you see knockoffs in payless, etc., it's usually just because the manufacturer hasn't gone after them... YET.

    @Oceanic: Payless is owned by NineWest, which is where all the 'knockoffs' come from. The chain is actually Payless - Parade of Shoes - Westies - Nine West, IIRC.

    Maybe I was half remembering something I saw when the ABS was explaining why they could get such convincing knock-offs?

    I love Karl but he cannot possibly have beef with Audrey. She is fabulous. Jean-Pierre Jeunet is fabulous. The ad is fabulous. Her comment about the rainboots, ditto. I'm sure the film will own. STFU, Karl.

    Like LaToya, I bought a special hat for my mother's funeral. Like her's, it had a deep brim, low over the eyes to act like a form of veil to hide behind. After the funeral I gave my hat to a charity shop as I could not bear to wear it again.

    ""Sometimes. This morning I wore the rain boots." This remark Lagerfeld found dismissive."

    Hilarious. Two snaps and a flounce for Mlle Audrey putting La Kaiser in his place.


    I thought it took 2.5 meters of fabric just to recreate *ahem* a Matthew Williamson scarf. Too much me for whatever caftan they're planning, I guess.*shrug*

    Didn't Karl Lagerfeld also insult Heidi Klum? I seem to recall him saying something to the effect that she was too fat to be a runway model and that neither he nor Claudia Schiffer knew who she was?

    Geezus people, just stop wearing fur. Regardless of where it comes from, what it is or what animal it's "in" to kill this year ... it's never ever good.


    It's especially disturbing to me that all these young designers are jumping on the fur bandwagon now too: Jason Wu, etc. Can't we just get over it already?

    @NicoleItchy: I completely echo your sentiment. I'm not a peta person, I'm not going to go throw paint on anyone, or whatever they did in the 80's, but really, I'm just tired by the idea that we can't get fucking relevant.


    I mean, just get over it already. To me, it's no different than using fluorescent light bulbs - the old style is over, it's done, and there's no reason to hang on.

    Charivari always seemed like one of those "too cool to go in" places when I was young and learning about fashion. But I summoned up the nerve once and they were very nice to me -- I'm sure they knew I couldn't buy anything.
