#TrendWatch: *Copy Cat!* The Faux Fashion Tee

Rebel against designer slogan tees with these cheeky copy cats!

Well, it all seemed to begin with the infamous 'Celine Paris' tee, adored by street style fanatics and fashion bloggers all over the world. Now even international Etailers, high street stores and up-and-coming designers are following the faux fashion tee trend with supermodels Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn having recently been spotted in their favourite fakes.
 
It certainly isn't the price that's attracting the FROW of the fashion world. Some cost in excess of €100 like Brian Lichtenberg's 'Homies' sweatshirt, a play on high fashion brand Hermes. Conflict Of Interest (C.O.I) similarly have rivalled Miu Miu with 'Niu Niu York' and Bawlmain with 'Brawlmain'. Fashion house Rodarte have also taken advantage of the trend by bringing out their own line of 'RADARTE' tees and sweatshirts.

However, Irish Facebook retailer Charmed Couture are doing a great deal on Celine tees at €25. Personally, I feel that this would be more of an investment buy. There are entire lookbooks dedicated to the versatility of the 'Celine Paris' tee alone. Style it with one of their cute bowler hats and a chunky gold chain for a classic street style look. Urban Outfitters currently stock the 'Homies Reason' tee in white for €40 although I've utterly fallen for it in neon pink!

With fans like trendsetters Cara Delevingne and Rihanna, the fake fashion tee is sure to be around for the foreseeable future. Whether worn as a middle finger to conformity (which in turn makes its label as a trend a bit awkward!) or just to be a little bit mischievous, they're sure to get you noticed.
