Alice + Olivia Copies $11K Balmain Jacket

Would you be happy if you bought an eleven thousand ++ Balmain marching band jacket only to find out there’s a $400-500 version from Alice + Olivia? To be honest, I’m so disappointed with Alice + Olivia. They are a brand that I am quite fond of. But after hearing they copied “THE BALMAIN JACKET”??? I’m shutting my doors on them. But for those who got the Balmain Jacket, don’t worrry. Nothing compares to the original. I am not biased or anything but the Alice + Olivia jacket certainly looks cheap. Below on the left is the Alice + Olivia version while the middle and right one is the crystal-encrusted marching band jacket from Balmain.

Alice + Olivia Spring Collection

Posted on February 8th, 2008 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | Leave a Comment »

Alice + Olivia has recently featured their Spring Collection at Neiman Marcus. What can I say? A small girl has something big to offer. Stacey Bendet (the designer) reuses previous trends and turns them into something glamorous. Her clothing line is so fun and colorful! Great clothes for saying bye-bye to gloomy Winter and hello to a bright Summer! I personally love and recommend these dresses slash tops:

Match with baggy slacks for Casual Fridays (like what Stacey was wearing in the interview):

Pair with Pumps or Strappy Sandals for a Glam Dinner:

With or Without Black or Gray Tights or Slim Slacks for an Afternoon Business Affair:

Wear with Tights or Skinny Jeans for a Fun Weekend:
