Anna Sui Spring 2007 RTW | Forever 21 Maven Top
As if they care if DVF sues them…Looks like nothing is going to stop Forever 21 from “copying” straight from the runways, its not an exact copy but its close enuff to tell where they got the “idea” from. This Anna Sui striped rose dress from her Spring 2007 RTW collection will go for hundreds but not the Forever 21 Maven Top, it is priced at $17.80. Getting inspired is different from copying near exact the design, its just crazy. I’m sure there are a ton more from Forever 21 but I am not that good at spotting it all, do you see any others that I haven’t mentioned? Thanks for the tip Jesse.
uhh that’s really bad ugh!
Posted By: Carla | April 5th, 2007 at 3:14 pmI saw 2 different versions of this patterned dress at forever21 last week. I wanted to purchase one but it didn’t look good on me and they were both around $27.90 or something. Really pretty! Makes me wonder where the rest of their clothes ideas come from..
Posted By: Mei | April 6th, 2007 at 2:50 ami say good for forever 21. anna sui and designers make it impossible for normal gals to get a hold of their clothes. i work and make a decent living but i can’t buy a shirt for 400 bux. i say, rock the fake sh*t and the like.
Posted By: A*rock | April 6th, 2007 at 11:34 amYIKES! I am all for pushing the limits of style over function, but what’s up with the ripped knee warmers?

Posted By: Anayo | April 8th, 2007 at 8:11 pmI saw the same shirt on Haigh Stree in SF. It wasn’t a Forever 21 store though.
Posted By: Melissa | April 8th, 2007 at 10:27 pmtheir “woven tube dress” is a clear knock-off of anna sui’s wood-block printed fabrics, done for the same spring 2007 season. other patterns, like the roses and some of their floral effects, are less facsimiles than obvious, unsuccessful attempts at copying. really, now.
Posted By: Lucy | June 21st, 2007 at 11:59 pmI’m a single mom of 2. I work my ass off everday and I try to look good. I don’t have all the money in the world. I shop at forever 21. who gives a rat’s ass, if they copy off these designers! i mean, i’m sorry if i’m not making six figures a year. lol. everyone can go ahead a spend however much they want on one damn shirt or dress. i don’t think i usually buy shirts that are copied off other ppl’s designs. shit, i can’t tell anyway. i just buy whatever looks hott on me, and wear that shit wherever, and ppl are ALWAYS complimenting me. hell, i wouldn’t pay $1000.00 for a designer purse, nor would i rock a fake. i’d rather just not have one at all.
Posted By: shel | September 27th, 2007 at 4:30 pmno matter what i wear, anyway…cheap or expensive- i still look good (even after having 2 kids!)
but why pay so much? i think it’s pathetic. are you THAT UGLY, that you have to fork up a lot for something and you still look ugly in those name brand-designer rags? LOL. ::rolls eyes::
Well I’m from Singapore, and we have a couple of F21 stores here, and I think the reason why F21 is SO hot with girls is cos of the low prices, and the constant support.
when there’s demand, there’ll supply.
henceforth, if we want to bring about F21’s downfall, everyone should just STOP shopping at F21.
however, even if F21 falls, there’ll always be other budget fashion stores, IMO.
Posted By: Amanda | January 8th, 2008 at 7:10 amthis just goes to show that you don’t need a brain to work at forever 21… designing is an art and it’s obvious that integrity isn’t something Forever is concerend about. It’s one thing to be inspired but another to straight hijack…
of course its always gonna happen and I hope that all the luxury brands out there wins their settlements.
Posted By: j | May 8th, 2008 at 5:09 pmi don’t care if it looks the same with anna sui’s design..why go for that expensive clothing where you can buy fashionable and cheaper clothes in forever21..it’s the one wearing it matters,not what you wear..gurls need to be practical and wise anyways because we have so many stuffs to buy..

Posted By: mohamed assat | September 26th, 2008 at 1:24 pmI am an employee of Forever 21 and we are always getting sued by different designers. Sometimes, we have to backstock an item because another famous label designer is prosecuting! I have seen rip-offs of Dolce and Gabbana, Guess, and probably a few more that I can’t think of. The big designers (Anna Sui, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, etc.) are selling almost the exact same items for hundreds of dollars, but F21 copies their styles and sells them for way cheaper. Take a D&G dress I saw. I’m sure it was over $100, but our “version” was only about $27.80. It was backstocked for a while (hmm, wonder why???), but later, I think they made it shorter and started selling it again. It really bites for the designers who put in the real hard work and effort to make these inspiring designs, but it’s great for those of us who simply can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars per garment (students, parents, elderly…) Like it or not, F21 will probably always rip other people’s styles, but that’s how they get by. All you can do is congratulate them on a job well done because they really know how to fly uner the radar most of the time and make a huge profit!
Posted By: f21 homegirl | November 3rd, 2008 at 9:50 pmF 21 HAS COME A LONG WAY BUT THE CHANGS ARE PIONEERS AND IT JUST SHOWS YOU THAT IF YOU PURSUE YOUR DREAM TO THE FULLEST, IT CAN COME TRUE!! IN THE ECONOMIC CRISIS THAT WE ARE IN, WE SHOULD APPRECIATE THE STYLES THEY CARRY FOR SUCH AN AFFORDABLE PRICE!! EVERYONE SHOPS AT 21!!
Posted By: F21 lover | January 23rd, 2009 at 3:13 pmI love forever 21 they have great stuff and it’s affordable.
Posted By: F 21 Rocks | January 23rd, 2009 at 6:56 pmIf you can afford Anna Sui than good for you but for those
of us who can’t we go to forever 21. Everybody gets
inspiration from the designers they should take that as a
compliment. Everybody shops at forever 21 so stop hating
if you don’t like it than don’t shop there.
I don’t think people should be mad about this. Although Forever21 copies off designers, they make it affordable for those of us that can’t afford really expensive clothing. I mean, if people had the money, they’d probably buy Anna Sui’s, but some of us don’t, so what’s wrong with going to F21 instead? :] <3
