I will continue to buy and wear his shoes- it's not like I'm trying to start a boycott. <br />Jesus I can't believe how offended some people are by this.

You could just explain how you aren't a knockoff, but is there a need to put other designers down? If we have to do this, then by examining your design, honestly? Its a knockoff. Same shape same details, even the little buckle on the ankle strap. Most of us love it, so you really didnt need to put other designers like JC down. Just sayin'.<br /><br />Still l0ooking forward to your next posts and hope you are not offended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810296861421418785.post-70282383111968804042011-07-15T07:42:13.101-07:002011-07-15T07:42:13.101-07:00I think it's a total knock off.

Are you or do you know ...Ugly ducklings wanted.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Are you or do you know anyone that is a bit of a misfit? Someone who is constantly overlooked, underappreciated, down trodden, and not taken seriously. Someone who is the worst dresser in the world and who prefers to hide away but knows there is more waiting to get out. Are you an ugly Betty or a Susan Boyle waiting for a chance to prove everyone who dismissed you as wrong. <br /><br />E4 are offering to transform that person from shrinking violet to talk of the town.

Yes, these shoes are similar but they are both simple relatively plain shoes. If you both used very similar fabric for the bows I would think knock off but not with the black leather. Also, good for you for leaving all the comments up on your last post. When you put yourself out there there will be criticism. I hate when people delete any remotely negative comments because they want the world to think everyone loves them.

I've been a longtime reader of your great blog and this is the first time I've been compelled to comment.<br /><br />I also agree with the comment that your beef with JC is because they are iconic was spot on. As a fellow footwear designer I too am sensitive to the fine line between inspired/infringement. Classic designs are classic designs, and CSxOC isn't the first to do that silhouette.<br /><br />I just recently watched this video which shows most creativity is derivative of something else, it's pretty cool...<br /><br />http://vimeo.com/14912890<br /><br />yay theshoegirl!Sitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197235281806534462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810296861421418785.post-69495042782230673082011-07-12T06:26:23.227-07:002011-07-12T06:26:23.227-07:00can i suggest you a contest?

That's business, and if you were doing anything different you probably wouldn't have a job.<br /><br />And as for the jealousy, I agree - there is little else that would prompt such vicious and personal attacks. People see that you are successful and want nothing more than to take you down to their level. It's completely juvenile.<br /><br />You're an incredibly sweet, amazing person, and I feel sorry for those who cannot see it for themselves.williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06125444329054484524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810296861421418785.post-77143708404466614112011-07-11T03:15:56.739-07:002011-07-11T03:15:56.739-07:00I was really surprised to have a look over it.I was really surprised to have a look over it.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08002882699191100735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810296861421418785.post-82266478082745689012011-07-10T22:57:18.155-07:002011-07-10T22:57:18.155-07:00Amazing shoes!
