While I am a bit fearful of the wrath of Karl, it has to be said: the Fall 2012 Chanel jewelry looks eerily familiar. To be more specific, the crystal-adorned bangles that hit the Chanel runway during Paris Fashion Week bear a striking resemblance to the crystal block cuffs in Pamela Love's Fall 2011 collection. While Love is technically an emerging designer, her jewelry has had no shortage of exposure and certainly doesn't lack a cult following. Love was named a runner up in the recent CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and her jewelry has been featured in Vogue, WWD, the New York Times, and Harper's Bazaar, just to name a few. So, unless you're living under a rock, you've probably seen some of her designs!
When I glanced at a photo of an industry insider wearing Chanel's crystal bangles, they registered in my mind as Love's designs. (I did a double-take upon hearing whispers that the French house, headed up by Karl Lagerfeld, knocked off the NYC-based Love). That's called consumer confusion, folks! It's also called stealing.
