Fashion in Spain, from sunglasses to shoes to accessories

It may not matter actually. We take a step back and look at Zara's history. The success story of the brand is based on good management, who had the foresight to encourage their designers to travel and "borrow" ideas from other brands, fuse them, mix them, and develop their own distinctive style. Well, Zara has always been accused of copying designer brands fashion creations, and this time is no exception.

You might remember I mentioned the latest Zara bikinis in an earlier post? Well, you get only one try to guess what design house's Spring 2011 collection they look like ... Prada of course. According to http://fashionista.com/2011/04/adventures-in-copyright-zaras-sweet-on-prada-entire-spring-collection/ in London's Zara shop there is already a too-obvious connection between the 2 collections.

I'll let you be the judge. (and race you to the shops to grab all the Prada look-alike clothes I can get!! )
