Designer Fashion 4 Less – Lanvin Face and Bow Tank

by Irina on September 20, 2009

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 20, 2009. Scroll down to see the new adds.

When I was younger I used to have a phase when I would refuse to wear anything else than jeans and a graphic tee. I remember how I thought I was so fab back then. Now that I’m older I fortunately am over that phase, but every once in a while I see my past obsession for graphic t-shirts rekindle. But who wouldn’t want to own the cute Lanvin bow tank below anyway?

Alice + Olivia Painted Face and Bow Tee

Alice + Olivia is usually not a brand associated with knockoffs, but the printed t-shirt below with the big black bow is obviously the original brainchild of Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz. I don’t know how I feel about upscale knockoffs to be honest. Take this tee for example: it’s not exactly a steal at $198. And it ain’t the real Lanvin either. If you’re willing to shell out almost $200 of your hard-earned money, do you want to run around in what’s just an expensive copy in the end? Knowing that for an additional $100 you could’ve owned the original? I don’t think so. However, if you’re not able to track the Lanvin down, you may be excused to go for this look-a-like.
