Chic and Untroubled

About a couple of months ago, the blogosphere went kind of bananas for a t-shirt that read: “Makeup not war”

And rightfully so. It was cool, witty, and ironic yet Urban Outfitters had nothing to do with its creation. But as anyone who follows streetwear can tell you, the Trash & Luxury t-shirt looked eerily similar to that of Dime Piece’s protest number.

Since the styles were different, though, I chalked this up to a mere coincidence. However, Trash & Luxury has struck again and more boldly. On the left, Mama’s Rene G. — named after the fashion illustrator who created the original piece of work. On the right, Trash & Luxury’s version with “Vanity is fair” scribbled along the bottom. Yeah.

Obviously, no one can claim rights to the illustration since it belongs to neither, but Gabriella definitely went at this first. And the Trash & Luxury replica probably wouldn’t have existed if she didn’t.
