But when I was excitedly checking out the new Rachel Antonoff x Bass collection, I stopped dead at the multi-color Maebird clear oxfords. And not just because of their colorful style.
Nope, it was because they totally looked like the Ground Zero x Alex & Rose clear brogues I almost bought last year.
The colors on the RAxB ones are a bit toned down and simplified but the inspiration is there, I think. I love the sweetly quirky pieces in the Bass/Antonoff collection but now they're a bit sullied for me.
What do you think?
ooo, those are really similar... I can believe it was a subconscious inspiration though. Possibly..
ReplyDeleteThose are definitely similar concepts! For me, they fit ito me "30% or less" rule, which translates to: if the shoe is 30% (or less) identical to the original shoes, I consider it "inspired by" and I'm comfortable with that. 30% or MORE identical, it's considered a "knockoff" and I will absolutely not buy it.
ReplyDeleteWith this shoe, I feel like they both use bright colors and vinyl (or whatever that material is) but the shape, colors, and overall style is different enough for me to prefer the Rachel Antonoff version better. :P
