Blair Gets a Top

Mar 27, 2008 @ 1:11pm

ELLEgirl cutie Holly Siegel pointed out a very curious top to us -

The B Waldorf top from Forever 21. We're pretty sure this is supposed to be an imitation of a dark dress Blair once wore (she was in her room, possibly talking to Jenny, possibly in the beginning of the brunch episode... anyone?) but the name just really seals the suggestion on this one.

The funny thing is, Forever 21 already kind of did this top over a month ago (eons in fast fashion galaxy), except that time it was a Phillip Lim knock-off. And mustardy.

The even funnier thing? The first thing we all said over here was, "Blair would never wear that."

Yes, she's real.

Then who designed the original dress Blair wore? When I saw the top above. I thought it was a spin-off of the yellow top they already knocked off from Phillip Lim. I remember seeing a few others with the same design motif at F21.com. And I went like, what a creatively provocative piece it is! Now I'm confused.

seeing that f21 named the shirt after b waldorf mean that they've acknowledged they were inspired by her? isn't that was kate moss does with her topshop line? what's so wrong with this...

while you are talking about knock-offs - who designed the original shirt that philip lim knocked off? maybe his line is not that original either.
