DIY an Adventure in Copyright, Oh My!

chloeeyetop.jpgWe've had a crush on this top since Chloe Sevigny wore it last September.


It's flirty without being overtly sexy and would match our whole closet

But it fell off our radar until we noticed this "Eye Print Vest in the style of Chloe Sevigny" on the ASOS website - a British chain that prides itself on selling things "in the style of". It's a pretty bad copy considering the factories they have at their fingertips. We thought we could do a better job.

So we ran out and bought the plainest white tank, broke out our trusty sharpies, and got to work. Less than five minutes later we had the perfect eye print vest.

It might not look as fancy as Chloe's, but it's a million times cuter than the one at ASOS, less than half the price and lacking those pesky shipping charges.

We think Chloe would be proud.

Nice job. I think I'll attack one of my million white tanks and do the very same thing. Maybe looking to the left... :-)

That is really cute! I might do that myself, but I think it would be easy to add some frayed trim.

This is inspiring! I'd like to try Blythe doll version. But... what happens if you wash it?

even though you were doing a diy on a cheap tank top, you still managed to "place" hermes and ray-ban in view. sorry, it's just a little to in-your-face/bebe logo tank/look what i'm wearing!

No mention of Lanvin in this post? Sure, maybe Chloe would be proud. But what about Alber Elbaz?

Cuuuuute! Some fashion is just ridiculously overpriced and under-original. That's when you have to take style in your own hands.
