long story short(er)... you have a very sucessful model (namely erin wasson) who buys a piece of Bliss's body jewelry from Eva's on mulberry(closed now but relocating and opening in spg09) and loves it, wears it all the time and even photographed in it (see below) all good so far? pay attention... so Erin decides to do it herself (you know like when you were a kid and decided to sew your own polo man on the no-name polo type shirt) thats make her own body-jewelry collection... and uses evan yurman (son of sucessfull jewelry designer david yurman) to make it...
so thats all good we know fashion inspires and that everything we love today can be traced back to something else... but what is sooo disrepectful (in my humble opinion) is to be pictured in the original design (bliss's piece) in a national publication (nylon mag) talking about your original inspiration being your designer friend (alexander wang) suggesting that you come out with your own collection and not even mentioning bliss's obvious inspiration... shame on you Erin
Bliss's original version as seen in her spg 08 lookbook (above)

Erin's article in Nylon Mag talking about her designs (see inset) while pictured wearing Bliss's piece... BTW Erins's collection launched fall 08 while Bliss's piece (tuxedo = style name) was a part of her spg 08 collection
