The Sincerest Form of Flattery?
There's "inspired" design and then there are blatant knock-offs. Seems to e that Steve is encroaching on Jimmy's designer toes with his boldfaced imitation of the beloved Jimmy Choo Prize sandals. Unbelievable.
I've seen enough impostors of the YSL Tribute platforms...and the other day I could have sworn I saw a fake "Prize" sandal as I walked past a Bakers shoe store. My eye caught what looked to be a surefire knock-off. I was in a hurry, so I didn't investigate. And yet.... I discovered this little phony today via an email.
If imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery, Steve likes Jimmy very, very, very much. And so do these other brands. I'm holding out for the real prize, thankyouverymuch. Accept no substitute.
Wow, I don't even know what to say. That is such a blatant copy. Steve is on my sh*t list anyway for an incident I had in NYC last year in his shop in Soho. Those Choo's are sooo yummy!!!

Sarah,
Nordstroms has them on sale for $318 plus an additional 15% off.... That is if you can track them down in your size. I recommend calling the # on their web site and being connected to a style specialist.
$800 shoes....on serious sale.
Tip: my understanding is that they run 1/2 size small. So order up a 1/2 size :)
