Immitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Flattery

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…….they say. Since the beginning of our fashionable ancestry, designers have created pieces from different muses. But of course back then it wasn’t such a faux pas to create similar pieces from other designers. Nowadays similar designs in most cases are widely scrutinized, but when it comes to fashions heavy hitters it seems to be excepted. Almost as though there is a mutual respect for one another’s craft. So lets pay homage to those designers who respect one another’s craft so much that they embrace it, shall we.
