The Farhi Simons Scandal II




1. Nicole Farhi Fall/Winter 2012
2. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2006

Oops, they did it again. It almost appears like a continuous effort, an established tradition to bring back Raf memories. One may appreciate and evaluate this 'homage' as archival contribution.

The Burberry Miu Scandal



















Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012 vs. Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2005



Presumably, the scandal series will find a new climax every season. And most probably, the cast will always feature familiar names. But in the end, that's what we love about sequels. Same same but different. And Miuccia will always win.

The Farhi Simons Scandal











Nicole Farhi Spring/Summer 2012 vs. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011 & 2008

As the previous Farhi scandals have been quite easy to grasp, this one takes on complexity and merges various Raf Simons collections. Mere copy or honest tribute? Who will be throwing the first stone?

The Burberry Prada Scandal









Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Prada Fall/Winter 2006 & 2007

Yes, I did like the coat-obsessed Burberry collection. And I thank Christopher Bailey for listening to Horst and incorporating plastic raincoats in the finale. But why does no one criticise the blatant reference to Prada Fall/Winter 2006 and 2007?
