blatant design rip offs

I couldn't find a similar thread, so I thought i'd start one.

Anybody else noticed this shameless rip off of the Junya work jacket from fw10?

Brand called shades of grey: http://www.coggles.com/item/Shades-of-Grey/JKT205-Honey-Canvas-Jacket/97VT

almost every single detail ripped off directly from the jacket on this page: http://www.endclothing.co.uk/blog/category/junya-watanabe-man/

except with shit quality materials like fake leather.

I know shops like primark do this sort of thing all the time, but it seems kind of different when it's a brand that's trying to be 'premium'. do people think this sort of fashion plagiarism is acceptable? any other shameless ripoffs to share?

this kooples top http://beb.imdoc.fr/medias/images/7/0/0/172700/189617/tns1-189617.jpg (apologies I can't find a better image) is outrageous imo. Far too close to Christopher Kane, and even a little too close the the Givenchy Rotweiler T's. For a brand that's attempting to place itself up with the likes of APC (at least in terms of pricing) it's very weak

Another Kooples one. This could just be coincedence or they're all a rip of the original Levis jacket:

Pretty sure most Supreme is a 're-interpretation' of old designs?

Most menswear is, where can it go without putting us all in skirts or metallic 'futuristic' fabrics?

Pretty shameless, but then Cabourn is just re-making old mountaineering/ exploration/ military gear.

I understand reworking ideas, getting inspiration as menswear is over saturated but that knit Laughing out loud
