Inspired: Gucci Spring-Summer 2008

It's always interesting to see how major designer collections inspire the clothing available at mass retailers. For Spring-Summer 2008 Gucci created a collection heavy on black, yellow, beige and a coral-pink. Most notably were the graphic and floral prints in black and yellow. You can see an example of that seasonal print in the dress above. While browsing Rich Girl favorite Forever 21, I stumbled on the dress below. While the shape is clearly unrelated, the colors and print are almost identical. A little Gucci-esque, no?
