Adventures in Copyright: The Chicken vs The Tuna

Hey Fashionista!

This bag by Jessica Simpson looks a whole lot like the bags Miu Miu did in Spring 2006.

I know her career is in total shreds but did she really think no one would notice?

Finally an Adventures in Copyright that actually makes sense!

Also, she is an idiot.

Why would Vogue promote that silly thing to go with a $700 dress and $550 shoes? I wonder how much the advertisers give to Vogue to inspire that decision.

Dollars to doughnuts she hasn't even seen the thing. Whoever was hired to design the line should be embarrassed, though.

Jessica Simpson's entire livelyhood is now based on ripping of designers

have you seen her shoe line, they are actually pretty decent knockoffs

A: what are the odds Jessica actually 'designs' her line...yeah

B: what are the odds Jessica has the mental capacity to remember Miu Miu spring 06?

agree with comment 5, all of her stuff is just knock offs of the popular designer stuff. Some of it is actually pretty decent, but I kind of refuse to give her any of my money, on moral principle of course.

Usually, when someone makes something similar to what is on the runway, there is some variation. I see basically the same thing. That's quite unfortunate.

2006 and it's 2009 and since the copyright laws on designs are nonexistant I don't see what the huge deal is...I mean it is clearly a knockoff but 3 years later I don't see what the huge fuss is. If this was done in 2006 I could see the issue!

let me clarify I'm not saying it's right, but it's not going to hurt Miu Miu financially due to the fact that it's an old design.

bastylefilegirl - I'd be a bit upset if I were toting around my 2006 Miu Miu and someone asked if it was by Jessica Simpson.

And is it really that hard to create a bag that isn't practically identical (aside from the colour and, I would assume, the quality)?

It would not surprise me if it was a knockoff, but got to say the Prada looks totally inspired itself by an old vintage bag I got in a flea market ;) my bag is black and must be late 60s or so.

I don't think anyone would notice you were carrying around a 2006 miu miu bag, or a miu miu bag...
