    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?

    The news about Fisher made me sad. I am beyond excited about Ford getting back into women's wear. Somewhat off-topic....is Jenna on vacation? Haven't seen her posting in awhile. Just curious.

    Dear Jews,

    May I offer you your choice of a wide variety of very attractive shoes that make my feet bleed? One particularly beautiful pair of jewel tone blue flats come complete with my ACTUAL BLOOD staining the back. I have flats and heels. Guaranteed to make you sorry you were ever born.

    The line forms to the left.

    @GirlyQ is feeling extra lesbionic: I don't know about "rash" but if you're into heel blisters, I have a beautiful pair of black and white lace ballet flats. If you'd rather just have the skin on the back of your heels shorn off, I have the above mentioned jewel tone blues.

    I'm actually excited about the Sonia Rykiel/H&M collaboration -- although there's always such a stampede on those designer collections, I doubt I will be able to get my hands on one of her sweaters.
    Also hope for non-itchy wool.

    @Acefreakly: It just tends to steer towards creating the no-makeup effect. Everything is very matte and neutral. Some of the big sellers in that line are actually a lip balm that has no shine to it and an undereye concealer.

    The Anna Sui collection isn't all that. The palette and prints are nice, but the fabrics are awful. Like sweat bullets awful. The anorak is the best item, but in SoCal, I couldn't justify it.

    regarding the Anna Sui collection at Target - the Berkeley location was FULLY stocked with the entire collection as of this weekend. so if you're in the Bay Area, you're in luck.
