Adventures in Copyrights: Shirt Tales

What's the difference between the Kate Moss for TopShop cardigan at left and its Forever 21 copy, dubbed the "Sweetheart Cardigan," at right?

It used to be the price, but not anymore.

Now that Kate's cardi has hit the Barney's Warehouse sale, it's going for $20.

That's actually $2.80 less than the Forever 21 cardigan copy.

And then you have money left over for Twizzlers!

(Also: We realize the irony here, since Kate Moss copied her entire TopShop collection from "vintage" pieces of her own wardrobe. It's still funny.]

Cute sweater although the Forever 21 cardigan looks almost see-through.

Oh, I have this sweater! I bought it in Manila, at Topshop and I love it. It's really cute, and not that expensive in the first place, even at regular price. Please don't buy the F21 version, that is just such a blatant knockoff! And yeah, yeah, so is Kate's line...blah blah blah..like fashionista says, it's still funny.

I need help. We are having a fashion show in which men will be the model for ladies clothes. It is supposed to be funny. Where can I go to find to find comical descriptions of models as they go down the runway? One of our models is going to be Felicia Fender, prominent wife of Freddy Fender.
Thankyou
