Knock-Off Alert?



ASOS vs. Acne Resort 2011

So lets talk "knock-offs" for a second...
I'm not very well versed in the arguments for or (most prominently) against knock-offs. I don't really know why anyone cares that people can buy/carry ugly fake Louis Vuitton bags. The people who buy fakes could never afford the real thing (I'm counted in with these types, but I have never had any interest in buying a knock-off bag) so they aren't part of the target market of these companies anyway. I think one of the arguments is that counterfeiters are making a lot of money from the artistic property of whomever designed the (hideous...) bags so I guess that's wrong.

ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC: the thing I wanted to point out is that, as far as I can tell, Acne isn't selling this hat anyway and it was probably just a one-off piece used to compliment or draw attention to the collection. If anyone has any background on the matter, please fill me in. If not, enjoy this ASOS hat because it's pretty spiffy, if wholly unrealistic...

U-Pick

HEY everyone reading this right now (all three of you...)! I need you to help me pick a dress from ASOS.com! Right now they're having a free-shipping event PLUS 20% off all ASOS's own brand! I swear they didn't pay me or offer me anything to promote them, I'm just super stoked on sales. So here are the dress contenders. I took the liberty of plastering my face over the models so you could really have a GOOD idea of which one looks best.


the Stud and Eyelet Batwing dress (that's my sexy face)


the Hook and Eye V-Neck Jersey Dress

and finally...

the Pretty Tea Dress (this one called for a more demure expression obviously)

So there you have it folks. Yes I know they're all black/navy. I was totally trying to find a nice bright red dress but none of the other styles ~spoke~ to me. There was one I was contemplating but then I watched a model wear it down the ASOS runway (they have a nifty little feature for each garment where you can see it in action!) and she was slouching so badly that I was turned off for life.

HELP: which one should I get?
