I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

There was no scandal.

But there still might be! Since one of Andy's winning looks (the hoodie) is a Lululemon ripoff.

I am pretty appalled that you would have promoted the event in such a misleading, disingenuous way.

But are you surprised? I'm not.

Since one of Andy's winning looks (the hoodie) is a Lululemon ripoff.

ha! I don't know if any of you watched Isaac Mizrahi's show, but there was a situation where a designer totally ripped off a dress, had talked about designing something "like" the dress, and then claimed he'd never seen it.

I thought that Ivy was a huge bitch about it. And really hypocritical to say that he was talking shit and then reprimand him for his language when he said fuck.

I'm glad that Tim shut that bullshit down. He was right. Not only was it in the past, but it was "he said, she said" and it did not get caught on camera.

I had never really liked her, but this episode made her look even worse. It really sounded like sour grapes. And the karma edit and Heidi's slam in the work room were awesome.

I have a vague recollection of this.

I was totally driving Allyson crazy last night. I paused the TV, then showed her the Lululemon website and then went into my room to get my hoodie (which even has stripes on the sleeves!!!) to show her.

Also, why is tape such a big deal? People have sent stuff down the runway with staples and pins still in them.

ETA: The collection is up at Amazon and it appears as if they modified the design on the hoodie.

I wonder if it's deliberate that they don't have a shot of the hoodie zipped up.


Kristen - Oct 08, 2010 7:08:34 am PDT #15417 of 23273

I have to believe that someone at New Balance caught it and they altered the design. Hence, the non-zip.

Yeah, I checked out the Lululemon, and the skull is VERY similar. and by VERY, I mean exactly the same.

Here is one of the Stride Jackets.

thank you for the link. I couldn't find what people were talking about after going to the site three times.

It was probably an issue because of their trademark. Which looks exactly like the front of the jacket.
