Look for Less: Louboutin's Simple Pumps and Ann Taylor's Perfect Pumps

September 21, 2009

I was looking around at Ann Taylor over the weekend, the one near Crate & Barrel on Madison Ave...  I was checking out the shoes and one of the sales ladies commented how nice they were this season, I agreed and said they were very Christian Louboutin-esque in their shapes... she didn't seem to appreciate that... as if Ann Taylor is too good to copy CL? (what a moron)

Anyway it's impossible not to see the similarities especially between AT's "perfect pump" and CL's "simple pump".

Ann Taylor Perfect Pump ($155), 3-1/3" heel

Christian Louboutin Simple 85 Pump ($520), 3-1/2" heel

Also with the platform versions:

Ann Taylor Perfect Platform Pump ($175), 4-1/4" heel.

Christian Louboutin New Simple Pump ($720), 5" heel. (sold out in black at net-a-porter)
