TFG Exclusive: Judging Fashion

It's time for our TFG readers to play the role of a fashion lawyer, where we compare two items of fashion under the standards of the IDPPPA and determine if they are line-by-line copies or inspired-by trends. In our last post, we compared Cartier's Aldo Cipullo's iconic nail bracelet to CC Skye's nail bracelet, and the results of the poll showed that 62.5% of TFG readers thought CC Skye's bracelet was an inspired-by trend and 37.5% thought that it was a line-by-line copy. In this post, we compare Louis Vuitton's Spring 2012 metal cap toe heel, with Zara's rendition of the trend (exhibits below). As TFG's fellow fashion lawyer, what do you think?
