Top 5 designer rip offs of the year






I recently read in a fabulously funny book 'Fashion Babylon' that unlike many years ago when designer fashion truly was exclusive, nowadays high street stores rip off the catwalk shows within three months. This is quicker than many designers (especially the smaller designers) can actually manufacture their collections. So, it seems to be truly on the pulse (and quite a lot more in pocket) the high street is the place to head! This cheers me greatly, designer rip offs are the only way I could consider a foray into the designer world. Below are my favourite five of the year, and if you bought all five high street versions instead of designer, you would be making a whopping saving of more than £4,000! Grins all round! Apart from the designers... 

1)  Jane Norman - Herve Leger Ombre dress, just £40! 
2) New Look - Carrie's Dior Gladiator shoes, only £25!
3) Faith - Christian Louboutin's red sole, approx £55 
4) Warehouse - Roland Mouret's Moon dress, only £65!
5) Topshop - Chanel's quilted shoulder bag, just £25!
