This morning, Tommy Ton tweeted, “Is it me or does the jimmy choo 24:7 campaign look a lot like…ahem…you know what i mean :S.”
Yes, it does look just like the images Tommy shoots for his blog, Jak & Jil, and as of last season, Style.com.
They’re simple, vibrant snaps of women’s shoes – spectacular shoes – on the feet of Anna Dello Russo, Emmanuelle Alt, Kate Lanphear and co. So Jimmy Choo copped his style and put some chic, not famous women in their own (kind of boring) shoes and had someone take snapshots against cobblestones. That sucks.
Like when American Apparel shoots everything a la Terry Richardson and half the “street-style bloggers” out there try to shoot like Scott Schuman.
Though really, is there anything one can do other than call them (being the Jimmy Choo or the AA or the generally more powerful copier) out and embarrass them?
