Roberto Cavalli may be known for making women look like sex kittens, but how about being a copy cat? Lost Art, the leather clothing and accessories brand, seems to have heavily “influenced” the Italian house’s last few collections.

Perhaps it could have been labeled a coincidence if it was one accidental necklace or placement of fringe, but this array of items includes pants, tops, and bags. Seems a little fishy.


Perhaps the biggest question is, why would Cavalli, a lauded, powerful designer with a signature aesthetic, feel the need to rip off a much smaller brand?
