Creative Coincidence?

Both designers have enough creative genius to go around the world twice, therefore I can only imagine they had a few drinks over lunch and, oops, dropped their notes on the floor, simultaneously.

Or...maybe there were just a lot of leftovers from those 15 varieties of that very expensive lace.

Sidenote:  I've lived my designer fantasies through Jason's dolls since 2001.  Wearing Marc Jacobs happens only if my local thrift supplies it.

Paris Report: Rouge and Chestnut
