LOOKS LIKE AN ORDIANRY HOT DESIGNER SHOE TO YOU HUH?? WRONG!! THIS HOT SHOE IS THE REASON STEVE MADDEN IS GETTING SUED!!HOLD YOUR BREATH AND SIT TIGHT THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE YOU GUYS KNOW I'M LONG WINDED!!
This is same shoe that Steve Madden is getting sued for
AS STATED ON THE WOMEN'S WEAR DAILY WEBSITE BELOW! TAKE A LOOKSY!
"Alexander McQueen has accused Steven Madden Ltd. of trade dress infringement for drawing perhaps too faithful a line from the designer’s own Faithful bootie." (
http://wwd.com/)
"The McQueen shoe debuted in January and is described in the suit as a black leather, open-toe stiletto ankle boot inspired by the motorcycle jacket. The complaint alleges that the Steven Madden model is a “studied imitation” that reproduces all those elements in the same manner. “In fact, the only design element of the ‘Faithful Bootie’ that Madden did not deliberately copy is the zipper pull that contains the ‘Alexander McQueen’ trademark,” the designer’s lawyers wrote. "(

GUYS I REALLY WANNA KNOW WHAT U THINK ABOUT THIS. OKAY IN MY OWN OPINION I HAVE 2 DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION
ON ONE HAND I THINK SHOULDN'T DESIGNERS BE FLATTERED THAT THEY ARE SOOO GENIUS THAT BOUTIQUES AND OFF-SHORE RETAILERS WANT TO JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON OF FASHION.. I MEAN ISN'T THAT WHAT FASHION IS ALL ABOUT, ISN'T THAT WHAT WE WANT??? RTW OR READY-TO-WEAR FOR THOSE WHO WHO DON'T KNOW IS FASHION PRODUCED FOR THE MASSES THAT IS CHEAPER AND WIDELY ACCEPTED ON A GLOBAL AND FINANCIAL LEVEL HOWEVER, ITS NOT HAUTE 
COUTURE WHICH IS REALLY EXPENSIVE AND USUALLY FOR THE ELITE OR CELEBRITIES!! ANYWAY AS I WAS SAYING .. DID WE ALL FORGET THIS INCREDIBLY INNOVATIVE SHOE BY BALENCIAGA THAT WAS FIRST SHOWN IN FALL' O7..AND COST--$4,150!! I FOR ONE COULDN'T GET ENOUGH!! MMH LETS LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER SHALL WE.
LETS SCROLL DOWN A LITTLE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE KNOCK OFF OF THIS SHOE SOLD AT STORES SUCH AS STEVE MADDEN AND BAKERS COST ROUGHLY- $100 MMH.. WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT STEVE MADDEN DOES THIS ALL THE TIME AND SO DOES OTHER RETAILERS BUT MY ARGUMENT ON THE OPPOSING SIDE IS .. AS AN ASPIRING FASHION DESIGNER AND AS AN ARTIST WOULD I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME I MEAN I'M SKEPTICAL ABOUT WHAT I
M TYPING NOW AND PUT ON PLACES LIKE FACEBOOK IN HOPES OF STILL HAVING AND KEEPING SANITY KNOWING THAT I HOLD THE KEY TO MY TRUE IDENTITY!! FASHION DESIGNERS LETS GET REAL WE ARE APART OF A WORLD WHERE YOU PAY $4,000 FOR A GREAT SHOE OR $100 ITS YOUR PICK I FIGHT ON BOTH SIDES AS AN ARTIST WHO WOULD NEVER WANT MY WORK DUPLICATED OR IMITATED AND I SEE IT AS A CONSUMER AS A GIRL WHO LOVES TO SHOP AND NOT JUST FOR EXPENSIVE THINGS ITS A COIN TOSS!!..STAY TUNED ON "TO WEAR OR NOT TO WEAR"
NOW YOU CAN BREATHE!!!
