The Farhi Simons Scandal

Nicole Farhi Spring/Summer 2012 vs. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011 & 2008

As the previous Farhi scandals have been quite easy to grasp, this one takes on complexity and merges various Raf Simons collections. Mere copy or honest tribute? Who will be throwing the first stone?

The Burberry Prada Scandal

Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Prada Fall/Winter 2006 & 2007

Yes, I did like the coat-obsessed Burberry collection. And I thank Christopher Bailey for listening to Horst and incorporating plastic raincoats in the finale. But why does no one criticise the blatant reference to Prada Fall/Winter 2006 and 2007?

The Farhi Sander Scandal

Nicole Farhi Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2010

Honestly, I am shocked. How could that happen? How can you copy a complete collection in such an obvious manner? As if no one has seen or will immediately remember the infamous Jil Sander SS10 collection? Welcome to the copy & paste society.
