    Didn't she also make that amazing skirt models after grates in the sidewalk? I remember seeing a skirt just like it a few months ago in a department store.

    I don't think the skirts are that similar. The waistlines and fabrics are too different, I think, to call the H&M version a knockoff.

    @BellaNotte: Yeah, the H&M one looks like just another low-rise tattered-look teenybopper skirt that college freshmen will pair with a henley thermal and dirty Uggs. Then, they will congregate in great packs and shuffle around a mall slowly without picking up their feet. Also, every last one of them will be listening to at least one earbud of an iPod, and they will mill vaguely in and out of shops, all appearing to ignore each other, all smelling of VS Lovespell.

    Similar as in taking an interesting design and making it hideous and common, yes. The skirts were interesting because of the architectural structure, the consciousness of 3D space, all that is lost in the H&M version.

    It doesn't look similar enough to really bother me - I've seen foofy skirts like this of all lengths and colors since time immemorial. Yeah, it might be paying a dim homage to the original, but the construction of the real deal is more like a bunch of folded square napkins, whereas the H&M one is roundy ribbons.


    It's not the first or the last time that anyone, designer or fast-fashion, has made a layered flouncy thing.

    Except Leanne's are gorgeous, and this one... I'm sure I'll see it paired with Uggs by girls from the surrounding colleges.

    This is one of those skirts that I would pick up, love, try on and realize it looked horrible on me. I've resigned myself to a life of skirts whose heights of adventure are pleats. That's okay: I can rock the classics ;-)

    There's actually a shirt with the same thing and you're supposed to layer them so the waves flow in opposite directions. Saw it over the weekend - awful fabric, looks cheap and tacky.

    In my dream world, there would be a store that only sold knockoffs of Leanne's skirts, Rami's dresses, and Jillian's coats.
