Azzedine Alaia Vs. Miss Me??

I do quite a bit of market research for my job (online editor for a fashion glossy). I love nothing more than shopping out a celeb look for next to nothing. Sometimes, though, the budget-friendly version is just too similar to the real thing, and it makes me wonder, how are there no intellectual property laws in fashion? I recently found these booties, and of course, they reminded me of last season's booties from the master of couture, Azzedine Alaia:

Miss Me Sid platform pump, $49.95, available at endless.com

Azzedine Alaia lace-up calf hair platform boots, $2095, at shopsavannahs.com

Obviously, there is quite the price differential here, but the question is, what are they worth to you?
