Pucci Spring-Summer collection '07 looking Fendi-esque

Pucci Bag in Blue Python

As usual, Splashes and swirls of Bright colours, a Pucci signature, was seen at Fashion Week. However, this time around, the Bags above look way too similar to the Fendi Palazzo of Autumn/Winter '06. Perhaps Fendi didn't come out with bags in Bright Crazy colours like Fuschia and Aqua Blue seen above (though Pucci has them in White and Grey too), nor did Fendi use Exotic Skins for the Palazzo...this is inexcusable. Everything looks like the Palazzo! I mean, if i hadn't seen the crazy colours with the signature Pucci swirls of colour peeking out at me from the interior I would have definitely mistaken it for a Fendi. C'mon, from the Studs and drawstring closure to the Circular Shape of the Bag, it screams Fendi Palazzo!

Take a look at the Fendi Palazzo below if you don't believe me...

Notice the Similarities?

Seems too much of a coincidence, doesn't it, for Pucci to release a Fendi lookalike just one season after the launching of the iconic Palazzo...

Hm..why does it seem as if so many designers are looking towards Fendi for inspiration? First Gucci and now Pucci. At least Gucci had a little bit of common sense to only remind people (with just the detailing on the clutch) of the Fendi Mirror Bag that was a couple of years old, and pray that people might have forgotten about it. But Pucci used something from just one season ago...and to make matters worse it wasn't just a single detail they replicated, it's everything!

Shame on you, Pucci! Did you really think that people in fashion would forget this quickly?!?
