oh wow that's crazy?! and cool for those of us on a budget, if i didn't still have to reserve my venue.... lol!!!
Those are very close; almost idientical, except for what they are made of and the heal height.
My DH is a fashion major. You'd be interested to know that you cannot patent or copyright a fashion. So all shoes, shirts, skirts, and dresses can be "knocked off" without any legal repercussions. All the better for us thrifty brides!!
They ARE identical! I love finding good finds like that in Target (or elsewhere) ... I'm always looking to save where I can!
The Nina shoes were probably themselves copied from another, high-end designer. This happens a lot in the fashion world. :/ (I'm one of those who believe that intellectual property rights are not nearly protected enough.)
$13? Hot dang, that's an awesome price! Probably not that comfortable though...
It's no different than Davids Bridal or many other designers. It ticks me off though...
I have no issues with more budget friendly labels "copying" higher end designers. As long as they don't try to claim they're Jimmy Choo's or something then it's completely fine.
And really? I'm SURE all high end designers KNOW their stuff will be copied or be the inspiration for other labels. That's just how fashion works.
Meh.
Everything "affordable" is basically a copy of the expensive stuff. Whatever! I'ts how us poor kids afford clothes, lol.
I've often wondered if they actually sell each other designs - like hey, we couldn't market this to our buyers - why don't you give it a shot.
wow... those shoes are twins... is like looking the right one in one site and the left one in the other... wow
I'm going to assume they're not as sturdy and don't have as nice of a fabric. My wedding dress was less expensive (not sure if it's a knockoff, not that I know) but that meant the fabric wasn't as luxe as if I spent a few thousand, ya know? Such is life.
I think this is exactly how Davids Bridal works. They look at the high end designers and figure out what is going to be in style and then figure out a way they can use that dress design and make it cheaper. The Budget stores (target, davids, etc) could not produce the stuff they do at the prices they do if they had to have huge research and design teams.
