Which versions do you prefer?

Fashion Sleuth Challenge

I have a challenge to the sleuths. Find sources for the clothes Jason Wu designed before he left the new crop of designers in charge. Did he copy or design?? Go back 5 or more years to the Fashion Royalty dolls outfits.

There will always be similar parts of fashion from one item to another. But as you can see below, there is no mistaking where the dolls' outfits came from. That's what I want you to look for.

A fashion sleuth over at Dolly Daily, corvas, posted these images. The interpretations are amazingly similar. There's no doubt as to the source of the clothes for these dolls.

More Runway Fashions Reinterpreted for Dolls

Michael Williams pointed out this resemblance earlier tonight.

Fall 2010 Runway Alexander McQueen

Mattel's Darya Barbie Doll 2011 FMC

According to the Barbie Collector site, this doll was designed by Robert Best. The 'resemblance' is unmistakable.

Spring, 2009    Dania Zarr  "Red Zinger"     Integrity Toys

Chill Factor, 2010 Dynamite Girls in MiuMiu 2010 pre-fall collection posted by cocoklein on Dolly Daily. There's no doubt at all that these fashions are 'cut from the same cloth' as it were. But how is it that they came out the same year? IT needs a lot of lead time to produce a doll. Did the same person design the fashions? Did they have insider knowledge of the MiuMiu fashion designs? Very strange.

I love it in black, collarless, strong shoulders, longer sleeves. It works. Jordan's outfit missed the mark.

More Reinterpreted Runway Fashions

These were posted on the W Club board at various times. Unfortunately there are no captions for the runway fashions. If you know the designer, please either email me or post it in a comment. I will then add to the caption under each set of images.
Enjoy!

Others have been posted but I am choosing to limit what I post here to those reinterpreted fashions that are obviously wholly inspired by a runway fashion, not the ones that have one or two similar details.
There will be more.
