It doesn't matter if it's tacky -- that's what F21, Charlotte Russe, H&M, and similar stores are around for.Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638505614187806283.post-85840621106792296742009-12-30T19:15:35.213-08:002009-12-30T19:15:35.213-08:00obviously Louboutin isn't losing customers, bu...obviously Louboutin isn't losing customers, but it's just tacky of Forever 21. Personally I am sick of stores like Forever getting away with copying everyone. They aren't just taking inspiration from other designers, they copy many items exactly.clairenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638505614187806283.post-90933969530215584882009-12-30T19:10:16.418-08:002009-12-30T19:10:16.418-08:00a LOT of brands have colored soles...a LOT of brands have colored soles...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638505614187806283.post-35351783150724730212009-12-30T17:07:41.045-08:002009-12-30T17:07:41.045-08:00That's what Forever21 is -- a fast fashion sto...That's what Forever21 is -- a fast fashion store. That's what they are known for, and that's what they will always be.<br /><br />It's really not that big of a deal. Do you think Louboutin is really losing customers over this? People who buy lower-quality knockoffs can't afford the real thing.<br /><br />I know there is a principle involved, but you have to understand that not everyone can afford luxury; however, everyone wants to be able to. Think about it like this: <br /><br />If you desperately wanted an original Monet, but couldn't afford one, and you knew someone who could paint really well, would you ask them to paint something similar?<br /><br />Besides, red on the underside of a shoe is not much of a signature. You can't claim a color as a signature -- that takes so little effort. And not all of Louboutin's shoes carry it.<br /><br />I am all for supporting fashion design as an art, but I think sometimes you have to see it for what it is -- something to be worn and enjoyed. Not something to get so easily offended about, or to be so serious about.Alicehttp://twitter.com/sevenmaidsnoreply@blogger.com
