Adventures in Copyrights: Chloe Comes Back

chloe dresses.jpgChloe got TopShop to stop making yellow jumpers copied from their current collection.


But can they force Urban Outfitters to pull a dress from their shelves that fakes a two-year-old design?

That’s the dilemma with this silk Portia dress, made by Luxx for $78.

It’s an undeniable rip of Chloe’s Gemma dress from Spring ‘06 (left), but we might be the only girls who remember it - everything else from that collection was bejeweled, billowed, and printed like a Klimpt heroine on a first date.

Meanwhile, the dress makes us dizzy for another reason:

How can we consider a flimsy lace frock when it’s almost double-cashmere weather?

That white dress with red or black tights and the right boot is a fantastic antidote to the winter black blahs. Add some color to it and rock it.

Looks cute on the runway but in real life I would imagine it would look like a nightgown. I wouldn't wear it.
