Designer Vs High Street: Fold-over boots by Alexander Wang and Dorothy Perkins

alexnder wang dorothy perki1 Designer Vs High Street: Fold over boots by Alexander Wang and Dorothy Perkins

They’re  not normally known for their adventures in high fashion, but it seems that Dorothy Perkins have looked towards Alexander Wang for inspiration for these zippered ankle boots, which they’re selling for £55.

Now, these boots would never have found favour with The Fashion Police anyway: for one thing, they’re peep toe boots, and you all know how we feel about THAT. For another, they have that strange “boot-within-a-boot” thing going on, and we can live without that too. If these boots MUST appear on the high street, though, this is the kind of designer copycat we like: they’re not so similar that they could be accused of being direct knockoffs, but the style is similar enough to make them a good budget option to anyone who loved, but couldn’t afford, the £620 Alexander Wang originals.

We still wouldn’t wear them, though. Would you?

    This is precisely the sort of thing that really annoys me so much: at first glance I thought, “Oh the Dorothy Perkins, they’re nice!” Then I noticed the toe’s missing, so now I hate the perfidious DPs more than the designer ones!

    I don’t like either, but I don’t like the Dorothy Perkins one more.

    I like the dorothy perkins shoes alot more…
    and I think they’re kinda interesting and I would probably wear them if they were in my closet and when I’m in the right mood.

    If I had to, I’d go with the DP’s.

    When will this peep toe boots trend go away? :(

  6. I would wear them for sure! Both of them! :) I don’t like all these peep toe boots, i have to admit, but these ones are lovely. It’s a great option if you want to go out at night. You can wear them with skinny jeans and a sequins baggy top, for instance! Perfect!

    kiss,

    They’re both gorgeous, but I think I’ll stick with DP’s. They’re hot.
