We had a bit of deja vu with this oddly striped dress, but we couldn’t quite place it.
Then Lauren Chiang emailed us with the same obsession, except she knew its roots:
The dress may have turned up at Forever 21, at Mandee, at Strawberry, and on street corners, but it started last season on the Tibi runway.
Net-A-Porter has it (at left) for $369.
Meanwhile, we spotted it yesterday at a stall on Broadway for $10.99.
That brought out another mystery:
Was this dress really such a hit that it got girls craving knock-offs?
We love Tibi, but we don’t get it!

hmm. I like the knockoff better. odd that it should be the more tailored of the two.

The knockoff looks so much better than the real one! While Tibi created it, the cut is strange on their dress and I think the shoppers at Forever 21 will look a whole lot better in the knockoff

Um, I so agree! I’ve seen different versions of this everywhere (tanks, shirts) and I never think it’s that cute. But now I can see that the orig isn’t that great either.

I’ve got a trapeze top in this fabric (from f21, of course), and it’s got a yellow yoke collar. when i bought it i was thinking it was very art inspired, almost in the same vein as warhol’s seed package flowers. i happen to like the shapes and colors of the flowers on the knockoff a whole lot better than the original, though.
