There is a big difference between designing (having a concept to follow, inovating by means of materials, sewing patterns, heel architecture) and taking a shoe you like, and changing some details. Search Google for the Mcqueen canvas with army print boots. Wait, i ll do it for you. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kPH0ZxIXBA8/S86G_mcW7bI/AAAAAAAAMkQ/oI1brj0mGnQ/s1600/Alexander-McQueen-Canvas-boots.jpg <br />Remove the upper part and replace the zipper with a lace, and consider the fact that she had her boot as a peep toe ankle boot first (as chouchou, before breakup). So, tell me... who designs what? FACT: Chouchou / Lel are not shoe designers. They are shoe makers, with big prices. The Steve Maddens of the world. Not the only ones in Bucharest, no worries. I saw an almost perfect copy of a very well known fur boot from Louboutin at Musette. Same season! <br />Sure enough, you could see a copy of the Faith boot in more then 10 big shops in RO, with prices high or low. <br />Designers..everyone is a designer today. Sad thing is people buy what is pretty much theft and have no problem with it. Every blogger is a fashion connaiseur, so how come no one sees IT? The design behind the romanian copy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704544081085225568.post-36919521859350462182011-02-13T22:05:52.579+02:002011-02-13T22:05:52.579+02:00true, absolutely true. that.s why i don.t go to th...true, absolutely true. that.s why i don.t go to that many fairs anymore. except the ones i already know for sure what they.re about. like the ones organized by tuxcedo confessions (the big iShoes, the one at Cafepedia last week and many more). <br /><br />it.s sad, though, to see the designers/brands lose focus because of little things like these (you.ve put it better)..Mirela Petrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405350975805879461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704544081085225568.post-73381928636645548332011-02-13T22:01:17.660+02:002011-02-13T22:01:17.660+02:00No, I don't say it was the same, I would be a ...No, I don't say it was the same, I would be a hypocrite because, as I said, I didn't attend the event. I was speaking about the others I attended, no names. It's just that when you're in a business like fashion (as small as it is in Romania) you have to be very passionate about it, but you also have to have a business-mind and neither of these two shows. What do they do? Watch you how you look through the garments and let you walk away without the slightest gesture of approaching you. This is where fashion happens: the fairs, shows, not in the malls. And they just don't know how to take an opportunity.classiqhttp://classiq.ro/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704544081085225568.post-7738106002609120422011-02-13T21:19:49.989+02:002011-02-13T21:19:49.989+02:00hi there ada. you.re right with what you.re saying...hi there ada. you.re right with what you.re saying. there.s so many fairs put there that very few keep to what.s really important: the customers, the things they sell, building a brand and a relationship with the customer. but are you saying the (wire)less is more event was the same? i appreciated it just because they focus on a direct connection designer-customer. and for me it really worked, i talked a lot with the ones that interested me. let me know what u think. i really apreciate your honesty, though :) kissesMirela Petrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405350975805879461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704544081085225568.post-81846941145539477612011-02-13T18:05:55.043+02:002011-02-13T18:05:55.043+02:00Hi, Mirela!

I haven't attended the Cafepedia event, but I have attended other fashion fairs and I'll be honest: I was disappointed by the lack of interest of the ones who display their products there. They pay more attention to the way you're dressed than trying to attract you and sell their stuff. Sorry, but this is not the way it's done. I can understand the lack of interest of the sellers in stores, but these fairs should send out a different message, they should interact with the costumers and make feel it's worth it spending your time there. So I'm thinking twice before I pay a visit to another event of this kind. Have a wonderful evening and a great week! xoxo<br />Adaclassiqhttp://classiq.ro/noreply@blogger.com
