I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats with scarves of red tied ’round their throats to keep their little heads from fallin’ in the snow and I turned ’round and there you go and, Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime..
Probably greed. But I'm confused...retail shops actually send scouts to the fashion shows to see what is hot and what is not. And that basically means copying the shapes and patterns but at a budget price. This has been going on for decades...I see so many knockoffs (and I'm not talking about imitation clothing merely very closely inspired) on the High Street I guess they're just picking a bigger target? I have no clue. That dress makes my eyes hurt.
^ yeah, that dress hurts my eyes too. However, would it be the actual dress that is hurting my eyes or the fact Lindsay Lohan is wearing it. Or maybe both....

yeah, im sure forever 21 has more money than chloe, they are huge. but to me, it just weakens their case. its fine when a more expensive company copies them, but not a cheaper one

As long as forever 21 isn't putting "DVF" or "LAMB"....or "MJ"..."CHLOE', etc. They can't sue for forever 21 having some pretty good 'knock off' designs. Most people that shop at Forever 21 can't afford real DVF and probably dont know who/what/wear diane von furstenburg is anyway....
Imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery, blah blah blah.

Shopping at a less expensive store does not mean that you are not knowledgable on these fashion designers.
I'm a college student who is majoring in fashion design (which has to be one of the most expensive majors, besides art), I don't have money to thow away on a $500 dollar DVF dress, when I can get it for $24.95 at Forever21. There's a reason why designers like Prozena Schouler, Stella McCartney, Zac Posen, Alexander McQueen and dare I say it...Madonna, have gotten into designing for the better wear category. There's nothing wrong with looking like a million bucks, when you have only spent a couple of dollars.

I shop at forever 21 as well. On a weekly basis. But the point I think I was trying to make is that most people that shop there aren't buying these peices because they are obvious designer knock offs. They're buying them because they're cute and superrrr cheap. Everyone 'knocks of designers', forever 21 just has a faster turn around.
