Founder and main dude at Fashion Indie, Daniel Saynt began his career in fashion at the tender age of 14, when he worked in the stockroom for some unnamed fashion whorehouse. His distaste for the mainstream quickly festered until he decided enough was enough, denouncing all mainstream fashion lines (unless the stuffs on sale or just down right irresistible or free, you can't say no to free).

Velour : The Forever 21 of Sweden

February 11th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under


I was all for Velour until I spotted this little diddy from BryanBoy.com.

Well, what do you know? It’s not just Forever 21 copying Anna Sui. Swedish brand Velour (Spring 2008) seems to be “inspired” by Raf Simons‘ Fall/Winter 2003 collection. Who did it best?

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2003 and Velour Spring/Summer 2008

Or better yet, which one is Raf and which one is Velour? Optical illusions, anyone? I don’t know about you but I like them both. Not that I’d wear menswear, but still.. Hah!

Guess the Swede’s don’t might a little copyright infringement every so often.

    looks ok, but I prefer ecological clothes and organic cotton. Actually right nor I’m wearing hemp, both in shoes and hats, from Simple Shoes in California, very smart looking items, comfortable and recycled, I bought them online from Berthas Eco Fashion.
