Adventures in Copyright: For the Love of Alaia

So, we're not the only ones with a major Alaia crush.

Phil, from streetpeeper.com alerted us to a shiny rip-off of one of this season's most loved heels.

The sexy, swirly, wrapped-around-the-foot Alaia sandal was spotted in almost every front row from New York to Paris, but now it can be yours for a fraction of the original price from Oh Deer! - the shoe company known best for painting the soles of their heels a suspicious shade of signature red.

But, the shoes will still set you back $200, they won't be worth anything in twenty years, they're too shiny to wear during the day and you'll have to walk around knowing that you're wearing a too-expensive copy of a genius' original design.

Meanwhile, they ripped off these ones, too. They're not as exact, but someone in Oh Deer!'s design department's not feeling particularly creative.
