He really thought that none will note this?

 

[AlbertNoir]

Who? Mr.Sarli? Unfortunately he's dead..btw he did that Couture collection 4 years before Gucci SS 2011

 

[Spiral1532]

lol..Gaultier is really crazy about doing this

Gianni Versace used to do it too. In his case, he'd take looks from his Atelier line and "recycle" them as ready-to-wear.

Fashionista had a post months ago comparing that gucci outfit with an orange blazer (I believe) to a still from a marilyn monroe movie ... anyway, I'm sure tons of people have been inspired by it. Nothing comes out of thin air.

The one note i would like to make about JPG is at least he is recycling his own ideas and aesthetic and not that of other designers, as terribly lazy it is of him to do that.

 

[cul8tr]

^ I believe that was the idea. It was retrospective of his old things.

I don't know if this was here.

^ I think that might be the same piece altogether.

 

[Sisley]

^^It reminds me rather of Givenchy...

^^It reminds me rather of Givenchy...

My suspicion is that they redid it because of the recent animal-head-print-trend caused by Givenchy.

 

[abstraccion]

Balenciaga did it before

It's not the first time Nicolas brings back an iconic piece. The white hat Jennifer Connelly wore in the S/S 08 ad campaign was actually designed by Cristóbal Balenciaga himself, the white gown, similar to the one from Resort 2008 collection can be also found among his designs.

And maybe they wanted to revamp the sweater with the new technique, as it says on the website.

Intarsia knitting technique: the motif can be seen on topside as well as seen on underside

 

[Spike413]

^ That's not new. The one from 2000 would likely have been an intarsia knit as well. Intarsia is just a method of knitted a picture or pattern into into something by knitting a separate piece and then assembling it with the rest.

Just for the record, that re-released Balenciaga sweater was shown a full ten days before the Givenchy men's collection was.
