Perhaps, but we are talking about different things - one thing is for a designer to take something from culture and another to take something from another designer. By your logic representational painting is also derivative.

Originally posted by BSR View Postre snafu/squat controversy, which is interesting to me contrary to what interest1 and lowrey suggest (grrr ):
'copying' is too broad an idea, because in the context of fashion or garments making one should not treat as similar the following practices:
***copying a designer's garment from A to Z (the first augusta boots / CCP side zips)
***borrowing an idea that you can find on a designer's garment (CCP applying the object dyeing technique that comes from benetton to leather)
***copying a classic (i.e. non branded) design (margiela sneakers / german army shoes)
***copying a non-fashion object (the teeth or pentograph examples given by snaf)Selling CCP, Harnden, Raf, Rick etc.

I completely agree. It's The Housewives of New Jersey wet dream. Like a bridesmaid pump on LSD.
You know they've run out of creative ways to embellish the female shoe when someone says "Let's glue some fake black and green flowers to it, and, and.. oh fuck, it: throw in a white sneaker shoelace to balance out all the estrogen."
nchiu – DO NOT re-post an image on the same page. It's the most basic of forum rules.
And in this case, a fashion crime..

435 euros for... a Coca-Cola advertising t-shirt? Who would actually want to buy this? Found it on Colette. It was cool when Rei did the exact same thing a couple of seasons ago with her elongated "basketball" t-shirts. I can't say the same thing about this. Of course Colette is an exceptional source of WTF-material.
