Below: Japanese label, Ato's Spring Summer 2010 collection... I thought I have seen those jeans somewhere...:-P
Below: You do the comparison between ATO and these Balmain biker jeans... what do you think? Inspired or copy? Shame on the copycat...
Biker Jeans: Ato vs. Balmain
Japanese designer Ato Matsumo's Spring Summer 2010 collections sees an uncanny resemblance in the jeans and biker pants presented. Balmain anyone? Just look at the ribbed panel details on the thighs... Isn't it a bit too late to do an 'inspired version' after Balmain's signature jeans design took the fashion world by storm this fall winter 2009? (None in good sizes lasted till the seasonal sales everywhere!) Tsk tsk tsk...
