High street stores taking a little too much inspiration from high end designers is a somewhat controversial topic which inspires arguments over what ‘true fashion’ is and whether or not you need money to achieve it, etc etc! Although I can’t stand ‘fake’ designer goods such as ‘Vivienne Westwood’ bags with a dodgy looking orb logo because they’re so obviously fake, in my opinion you can’t beat a good designer rip-off (and yes there is a fine line between the two!)
If you loved the Miu Miu Fall 2011 shoe collection but couldn’t quite scrape together enough cash for a pair of your own, now is the time to head over to Topshop (especially if you’re a student – 20% discount ends midnight on Sunday) and grab yourself a pair of their ‘Jamaica Curved Heel Glitz Shoes’ (above) for £55. Check out some of the considerably more pricey Miu Miu versions below – the black and gold Topshop Jamaica shoe looks as if it could be the love child of the Miu Miu glitter & calf hair pump and the glitter finish curved heel pump!
Totally agree about designer rip-offs, I don't buy for the label I buy for the style. There's no way I could afford the actual shoes, but I have no problem buying designer 'inspired' products, no matter how close they look! xxx
Oh GOSH those look perfect. for my soul. All versions are perfect, and true fashion shouldn't discriminate according to wealth or affordability. Creativity and innovation are first in my book!
This is such a great post, even though they are knock offs I still love the topshop shoes haha. I think your blog is amazing by the way!
