Knock Off...or Not?




1. Steve Madden "Brigght" $129.95

2. Guiseppe Zanotti for Balmain Crystal Studded Sandals $1,720
3. Bakers "Darcy" $79.95

I don't know, but these sure are similar. Is is flattery or a knock off? No, they aren't sold in back alleys or the backs of hair stores. They're sold in mall stores. Steve Madden is notorious for "knocking off" high end designers (check his past and most recent lawsuits, there's no currently by Alexander McQueen) and bringing them to the masses. The last are from Baker's which means the trend is officially dead, if they're in a low end mall store. If you see them at Rainbow or any place like that, then you know it's over.
