Recently I've been having mixed feelings about this issue especially after seeing this video: http://www.confashionsfromkuwait.com/2010/09/video-lessons-from-fashions-free.html
I think it's somewhat acceptable for highstreet brands to be "inspired" by designer brands as long as they can add their own signature to the design to make it look slightly different. Not everyone can afford to buy Celine bags, Louboutin shoes, or Stella's dresses.. etc so it's an opportunity for fashionista on a budget to look on trend without breaking the bank..
