I love the look of Chanel, but sadly, cannot afford to buy the much coveted tweed blazer. I do own a couple of Chanel-inspired jackets from brands like Forever 21, H&M, INC (by Macy's) etc, but never in anyway misrepresent them as Chanel.
I HATE HATE HATE counterfeit items! I would rather buy a nice mass-market label than purchase a fake Luxury Designer Item.
However, I've read that some detest the likes of Aldo (which I confess I like!) because their designs are very close to luxury brands.
What are you thoughts on Luxury Designer Inspired items that are not FAKE? IMHO, I think they are all good as long as the wearer does not go thru the extent of painting the soles red and telling people that they are the actual "red sole shoes" or re-sewing buttons with CC on them (hahaha) I think they are good because it makes good DESIGN (not brand!) accessible to more women. I think every women, regardless of income, should have the opportunity to style herself well and she should not be judged for drawing INSPIRATION from the runway. Again, I use the word inspiration because I do not in anyway condone FAKE/COUNTERFEIT "I AM CHANEL BUT NOT REALLY" items.
