    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?

    How complicated can it possibly be to design leggings? The fit doesn't change much, and then all there is to do is strategically rip and metallicize them. Voila! Lindsay's "pants."

    Haute couture (French for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking"; pronounced [oːt kutyʁ]) refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques.

    Used to describe a liquid, I think the word "couture" loses ALL meaning.

    I hope the fragrance bubble bursts soon. Who BUYS these scents anyway to keep the industry thinking it should be churning them out??

    Juicy thinks that if you repeat something, it becomes better.

    If I designed leggings for Lindsay, I'd make them flesh colored with erratically spray-tanned orange splotches all over them, just like her actual legs appear in the picture above. I will call them the "Don't drink and spray" leggings.

    In my mind, the blind item catfight went down between Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell. Tyra heard Naomi was starting a new reality show called USA's New Super Tall Chick, and, feeling threatened, she tried to tear poor Naomi's extensions out using only her Magnum eye glare and pout. When that failed, she rolled up her sheer sleeves, unbuttoned her leather vest, pulled off her 6-inch wedge heels and went at it, old-school style. Naomi was almost down for the count when Karl Kaiserroll Lagerfeld looked past his chilled wine cooler and decided it was time to step in.


    Gamely pulling the girls apart with a brute strength that seemed unmatched with his sleek, boyish figure, he intoned:


    "Dear kerchief puppets, don't zoom about so, for the moon's pupils dilate every time a moddle cries harikari, and for true are your maudlin, Vicodin-laced puddingcups too delectable and drink-up-able for such hamburgler-esque hanky-panky. Also, every oompa-loompa in the ionosphere is invited up to my suite tonight. Ole!"
