I just bought those! I love a good knock off- The YSLs didn’t come in my size so the next best thing. Its tough with a stand out piece like that one but I’ll risk my chances, photos on my blog soon! http://dustydress.blogspot.com

I tend to come down on the side of greater accessibility (i.e. knock offs for all!), but I don’t really dig it when it’s something so distinctive. No so much because it’s “wrong” as because it makes the shoe a viable trend item, which means that it won’t be confined to the runway, editorials, and a favoured wealthy few… and its novelty will wear off that much sooner.

Definitely; I was touching on that when I mentioned high-end designers recycling concepts just like mid-priced labels get criticized for doing

I guess it comes down to….can the jeffrey campbell client afford YSL? Is this JC purchase impacting the bottom like of YSL’s business. AND FYI, this cage lattice upper is not a YSK orginal, you may notice campbell used the authentic mod inspired block heal, where YSL took it a step more haute design—bringing it all together with their own look on the heel shape.
