Previous Marie Claire style and accessories director, regular fashion girl-about-town, and The Sartorialist street style favorite Taylor Tomasi Hill launched her much-anticipated mini collection for Lane Crawford this week in Hong Kong.
The seven-piece capsule collection, priced from $250 to $510, instantly made Hill's famous trend-setting style accessible to the world masses on LaneCrawford.com, making a lot of girls everywhere very happy.
However, Elle.com's sharp-eyed news editor quickly pointed out that the strapless dress from the collaboration is basically identical to one that Marc Jacobs sent down the runway four years ago for his Marc by Marc collection. The piping, tailoring and asymmetrical ruffle of the Marc Jacobs dress made it easy to spot Hill's knockoff.
Unfortunately, a blue striped shirt with cutout shoulders in her collection also bares a very unsubtle striking resemblance to a Commes des Garcons shirt that she was street-style snapped wearing in September 2009.
The copyright issues and potential lawsuits that Hill will face remain to be seen. A pity, really, because the rest of the collection is pretty darn cute.
