I have to admit, I am befuddled by the ideas of infringing when it comes to similarity between clothing designers. I mean, take men's ties, how different can one brand really be from another?? Or button down shirts, or pencil skirts, or . . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-about-similar#post-840244 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:31:47 +0000 rachylou 840244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was listening/reading to something about copyright in various industries a few months ago. The answer is no: the fashion industry does not pursue copyright infringement, because trends drive sales to such a great extent... and designers play off each other, get inspired by each other.</p> <p>There are those who would argue hi-tech should take a clue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-about-similar#post-839868 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:19:09 +0000 rae 839868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Borns have a lower heel... TOTALLY different. ;)</p> <p>I'm sure JC got the idea from somewhere else, too, though. And I bet the Borns are super comfy - I'm glad they're adding some interesting design elements like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-about-similar#post-839793 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:28:17 +0000 deb 839793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the heel better on the Born's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-about-similar#post-839751 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:43:12 +0000 dizzys 839751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Born is fantastic BTW and my go to brand....very comfortable and classic and very well made in design. Real leather etc.</p> <p>I just got these.... they are called Sia's .....I love the asymmetry Oxford/ shootie look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-about-similar#post-839749 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:41:48 +0000 dizzys 839749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oxfords are classic and have been around for decades. Neither of these brands originated the style......so I can't imagine a copywrite issue with these particular labels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-about-similar#post-839741 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:36:42 +0000 Suz 839741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know! I was looking at those the other day. I wondered if they would be more comfy than the Jeffrey Campbells. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-about-similar#post-839739 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:33:56 +0000 lyn* 839739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do look similar! I don't think it is easy to copyright shoes or design though - even red soles can't be patented </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-about-similar#post-839733 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:25:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 839733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check out this new Born oxford, which looks surprisingly similar to the Jeffrey Campbell oxford I bought last year.
