Ann Demeulemeester Wannabe(s) PART II

I know I keep posting about these Ann Demeulemeester boots but I am both dismayed and excited about how quickly knock offs are popping up. Racked saw this knock off "in the window of Pixie Market LES." I also definitely saw a girl wearing the real deal this morning at Vassar. JEALOUS. I will definitely have to go pick these up!

Update: 5/15/09 There is a terrible copy by Steve Madden too. Oh Steve, if you are going to make a buisiness out of ripping off designers, at least do it well. They also have a tragic version of the Gucci Baboushka ankle boot.

Ann Demeulemeester Wannabe(s)

I post last week about how I really wanted Ann Demeulemeester shoes, and it looks like the copycats of the shoe industry heard my cry.
These shoes, by Bijux Max, are pretty much an exact replica of her lace up flats. And for only $115, they are a great deal (at 1/10 of the price of the real thing).
Even Dolce Vita has gotten into the game of copying Ann Demeulemeester. These look just like her wedge, lace up heels, even down to the suede fabric. Of course neither are anywhere near the real shoes. Sigh, my craving will continue, unfullfilled.

What I want NOW

Ann Demeulemeester lace up boots. If I won the lottery tomorrow right after paying off Vassar loans and giving a little something to my family/charity, the first thing I would buy are these boots... and maybe a Chanel bag. But that is beside the point. If I could buy one uber-expensive trendy item right now it would be these boots. I mean look at them!I could wear them for summer, for winter (with tights), every day! Unfortunately they cost over $1000, which is a bit more than I can afford. Here they are featured in Sea of Shoes. I have never been more jealous of a sixteen year old!
