trickle down theory with french fashion

From the french runway to easily accessed stores in the u.s. some recent trends are hitting our stores. in my presentation last week i showed trends like cut outs and color blocking in shape hugging strategic areas. i showed this Monique Lhuiller dress (left picture) and a dress from Urban Outfitters (right picture) see the resemblance? i also found this new Urban Outfitters blazer that reminds me of a very very watered down Theirry Mugler. we may not have the real thing but at least we can have these affordable knock offs.
