Adventures in Copyrights: The Red Shoe Diaries

Chic 3: Is Miu Miu copying Christian Louboutin? What’s up with the red sole and stem?

Fashionista: Holy ripoff, Batman! That’s weird – especially since Miu Miu’s shoes are so gorgeous all on their own. They don’t need to mirror the famous Privé pumps to get fans.

Chic 3: I know. So confused. But it’s not like they didn’t know a red sole is Louboutin’s signature trademark…

Fashionista: Well, here’s something else they didn’t know. Those Privé pumps are on sale at Neiman Marcus, so they’re actually cheaper than the Miu Mius by about $30.

Chic 3: Fashion karma. So subtle. So true.

Everyone's copying the red sole now. There's 4 or 5 shoes in the new Victoria's Secret catalog that have a red sole, too.

I'm soooo sick of this.

I went to Zara today and just felt sick because I found 2 fake Prada bags(from the new fall/ winter collection), 2 fake pairs of Chanel flats and 2 pairs of fake Chanel heels.Oh and pair of those banana heels from Prada,but they were in white and black...and the list goes on.Not to mention the clothes.The same sweather dressed that Stella makes and a lot of other things.

Thas's not fashion anymore.And it's really not fun.I have a lot of respect for the designer and even if I can't affrod a half of them it just feels very wrong running 10000 of Zara stores with the ''copy policy''.

Hey, the cool thing about NM is that if one store is out of stock, they're supposed to call around to other stores and see if they can find them for you. So ask if they'll do that, especially other stores in your area.

Nordstrom is also great about that.
