Took me a second but Topshop took the shape of Balenciaga and the print of Prada to create it's inspired by piece.

I have to take the florals out of the equation just to be fair ( I hate florals).
Now the the Balenciaga stuff in my opnion is so ugly the rounded football-player puff sleeve hybrid and the android skirts are totally FUG. The fact that top show was "inspired" by it is equally horrid! The fact that you can put a designer name on something so ugly and people just lap it up is beyond me. If even make Jennifer Connelly look mannish!

The florals at Express at such a direct ripoff of Prada Resort it's sad. They're also doing dresses in the patterns too.

yeah, ew. my sister was right when we saw these in person- they just can't be done on the cheap without looking like bridesmaid meets curtains

call me crazy, but the topshop looks like it holds more of the runway structure of the balenciaga pieces than some of the actual off-runway balenciaga pieces I have seen people sporting (see: the miranda kerr/jonathan rhys myer's gf post from yesterday).

this one just makes no sense, i mean, these things look nothing alike. i don't even see it as "inspired by"
