If there’s any sort of line, any point at which ripping off designers goes too far, ASOS just crossed it.
Right now, their homepage features Carrie Bradshaw’s laptop and her oft-repeated quote, “I like my money right where I can see it, hanging in my closet.” One click and you’re in Carrie’s closet, circa Sex and the City: The Movie, where you can continue to click on a variety of outfits “inspired by” Pat Field’s costumes.
The thing is, when you do that, you’re buying a direct Proenza Schouler runway rip-off, that studded belt, a horrifying copy of the white Ralph Lauren suit, all topped off of course with the Dior gladiators she wears throughout the movie.
The best part though - when you click on the item it says “In the style of Sarah Jessica Parker.” We too can get a bit carried away with characters, (ahem, Gossip Girl), but seriously?
