Céline Looks at Zara Prices

It's hardly a secret that Zara's designers like taking inspiration from fashion houses. In fact, it is so evident that Céline even opted not to showcase Resort 2014 collection because Phoebe Philo and her design team did not want to provide Zara and H&M (to name a few stores) with anymore opportunity to mimic their designs.
Despite Phoebe's efforts, this hasn't stopped Zara from creating their own interpretations of Céline F/W 13 and Pre-Fall. Essentially what Zara are trying to do is translate Céline's aesthetic into a more commercially ready brand. Which, if you're like me and cannot afford even a belt from Céline - is great news!
(Although it is kind of weird that all the models in Zara's newest Campaign; Ashleigh Good, Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Julia Nobis, Juliane Grüner and Mijo Mihaljcic, all walked for Céline F/W 13)
I had a scope on the Zara website and picked out some of the most evident Céline 'inspired' pieces.

Zara Pleated Skirt - £39,99
(similar can be found at ASOS)
Shirt - To be added

Zara Coat with Large Lapel - £109,00

Zara Masculine Studio Overcoat - £179,00

Zara High Neck Silk Blouse - £39,99

Zara High Collar Studio Top - £49,99

Zara Cotton Silk Sweater - £45,99
Zara Mermaid Studio Skirt - £69,99

Zara Leather Effect Skirt - £39,99 reduced to £12,99

Some of these are certainly inspired by Céline while others are outright dupes. You only have to walk into Zara to see that their new collection is heavily inspired by Céline's silhouettes, cuts and colour palettes.
