Katie Hillier Talks Jewelry, Luxury, and, Of Course, Bunnies

Katie Hillier has had a career most could only dream of. Designing accessories at Luella, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and working as a contributor and senior-editor at POP, Katie’s resume is a fashion wonder.

Adventures in Copyright: Playing Spot the Difference With Marc by Marc and “High Fashion”

Thanks to reader Kaitlyn for sending over this AIC tip which pretty much blew our minds. Marc by Marc is often knocked off but this one takes the cake.

The tote bag is not even part of the main Marc by Marc collection, but a $28 “special item” available only at Marc by Marc stores alongside condoms and key chains. The tongue-in-cheek label hilariously reads “Jacobs by Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs in collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs.” The Forever 21 Tee says something about “heritage” and “California” and blah blah blah.

Oh, yes, we recognize that red, white, and blue is not the easiest combination to pull off. So we’re offering some ideas that’ll keep you from looking like our favorite kook, Katy Perry.
