Designer Inspiration...

CAN U TELL DESIGNER OR INSPIRED?

Ever since the explosion of the Manolo Blahnik Timbs in 03', yeah you remember...Jay-Z and
Beyonce honorably mentioned them in the 03' Bonnie & Clyde track. After that there was not stopping the replicas from knock-offs to designer inspired artist such as Steve Madden (who in my opinion had the best replica). Well here we are in 2008 and designer studs are becoming much more expensive and much harder to find. Lets face it, ladies love shoes, handbags and clothing of all sorts, but most importantly shoes. Now unless your some type of Billion Heiress or a celebrity like Beyonce, Posh, or Rihanna and designers are shipping you their latest items for you to advertise, so that the millions of people in the world can go and take their everyday, 9-5, working wages to imitate, then a replica may be just down your aisle. Steve Madden has always been wonderful at making sure that the budget savvy diva doesn't look cheaply made when strutting her stuff. His designer inspired replicas are tasteful and affordable. The quality usually is about 99% as good as the original. The Steve Madden replica of the YSL tribute sandal is all the buzz right about now. They are great quality and just as good as the orignal. What do you think, Hit or Miss?

These I actually found at Forever 21 the other day. They are Chloe inspired and almost a close match, but not quite. The quality is not as good.
