Fashion:Spot the Difference,Karla's Closet vs Asos.com





Just another quiet Sunday for me in South London folks and there I was, minding my own business, i decided to myself: "hey...why not check out Asos.com" and as I flicked through the pages, one by one, something caught my eye, it was a blouse that look very similar to my favourite fashion blogger Karla from Karla's Closet...hmmmmm very suspect. I have a photographic memory,so i checked out Karla's Closet to double check if it looked similar and I was right, Asos did a replica of her entire outfit!.

It just goes to show how big and influential fashion bloggers are becoming to the mainstream now, the roles are starting to reverse.It was us looking to the mainstream for inspiration, now it's the mainstream looking to bloggers for inspiration, they are even designing hand bags, amazing right!?. Anyways this isn't a negative jibe at Asos because i actually bought it myself and it has sold out in record time!...not sure if Karla got any credit for this one though?, but it surely looks to me like a creativity swag!. I say thank goodness for Asos, as it's the place to go when your looking for that item you just can't seem to locate anywhere else, so thanks Asos!

EDIT: The item arrived today and it wasn't up to scratch, so i will be returning it, as £30 is to much for this top. See, you can be imitated, but never duplicated!!

  10. Wow good catch! Yes I've been noticing this more and more. Zara is selling shirts with drawings of Tavi and Betty without their consent right now - inspiring or illegal?
