So (hopefully) you have eyeballs and you see all the similarities that I see. And I have a big problem with it. This isn't an instance of two designers both designing a metallic heel. This is a designer stealing another designer's unique ideas. I will also note that every Jeffrey Campbell shoe was released after the other designer's version. I will no longer buy or support Jeffrey Campbell shoes. I believe that if you choose to become a designer of anything, you make your own designs.

Thanks for posting this! I'm studying fashion history right now and they posted a photo of the Salvatore Ferragamo rainbow platforms in this weeks lecture. When I saw it I immediately thought of the Jeffery Campbell wedges and how they must have been copied from the SF design because it came out it 1938! I can't believe a designer would blatantly rip off another like that! (I thought only Forever 21 was capable of such thievery...) How very unoriginal. And besides that, JC shoes are poorly made.
