Are these belts too close to Chanel? How close is too close? Is it even fair to say that something like a pearl belt is necessarily Chanel? At what point does a chain become generic? When does a motif become part of a house’s vocabulary? If we’ve been taught to recognize something for decades, does it become ours to re-invent? I look for an intent that departs from the original. Does this item say something that Chanel does not? Or is it just giving the look for less? If so, the quality better match the OG or look deliberately on a different level. Tuxedo T-shirts have a sense of deliberate humor that some dupes just don’t. LTKVideo LTKstyletip LTKfindsunder50
