Adventures In Copyright: Urban Outfitters VS. Proenza Schouler
By Elizabeth Jaime
Urban Outfitters, who is no stranger to our Adventures In Copyright series, is back at it again. This time around the victim is Proenza Schouler. Reader Tina pointed out that the Urban Outfitters’ ‘Realitee Tye Dye Sweatshirt’ looks remarkably similar to a top from Proenza Schouler’s Spring 2010 collection. And we wholeheartedly agree. This is a flagrant knock-off.
The only difference? The Urban Outfitters sweater is made of cotton and costs $48, while the Proenza sweater is made of silk, runs for about $1333, and might be a little harder to get your hands on.

Sorry, that’s what happens in fashion. Designers ALWAYS have their work replicated for a lower price point. Think anything in the mall is original? Get a clue Fashionista
They aren’t even condemning Urban Outfitters, just commenting on the knock-off, and I don’t detect any shock or pearl-clutching outrage in the author’s tone.
The silk Proenza is only $133? Wow
No, more like a grand, maybe $133 on sale.
The price is listed as $1333. Thousands, not hundreds.
Wow-those sweaters do look alike! Love it!
My favorite item in the store is the Achille’s Bag!! Love it!

Like the Urban Outfitters top – thanks for featuring it. Another item to add to my extensive wardrobe of knock offs.
yeah and I don’t feel bad about it either!
The PS just looks better all the way around. The colors are more saturated…and no doubt that it feels more luxurious against the skin.
The PS one better be better :P…it costs about $1300 more than the one from UO.
and I wonder if these AIC posts help boost sales for the knockoff?
urban outfitters is a fricking KNOCK OUT! cheap company, what do you expect. Sue them, Prouenza <3
Clearly, a loose-fitting tiger print on a raglan tee is a flagrant knock-off of a python print tight silk top.
In regards to the style and the color, it is clearly a knockoff. I don’t know why you’re even fighting it. But whatever, that’s what fashion is. Shit gets watered down and marketed for cheap all the time. But don’t deny it isn’t a knock-off.
