Burberry vs. Zara

The Burberry Portrait t-shirt for Fall/Winter '09 is produced in a beautiful grey cotton wool blend that is semi-sheer and has long sleeves. Available at Burberry Worldwide $325 USD.

Zara is a favorite "inspired by" brand of mine that re-interprets runway looks at incredibly low prices. The fit and quality are very good, considering the cost. I tend to avoid buying direct copies, as I feel they are of questionable taste and are ultimately unfair to the original creators.

This Zara t-shirt is clearly "inspired by" the Burberry Prorsum one above, but it is not a direct copy. I will probably wear it with a vest or under a black cardigan. Notable differences include: larger portrait, more youthful subject, silver accents, v-neck, 100% cotton, etc. Zara portrait t-shirt, grey 100% cotton, short sleeves, $29.90 USD.
