Bill Blass for Maurice Rentner advertisement in Vogue, February 1, 1964.

A few variations on the Really Fake theme, taken from the Behind the Seams blog:

  • Thinking about saving a few hundred bucks and buying counterfeit goods on eBay or iOffer? Think again.
  • Canadian footwear company Muks is offering faux fur boots under its new Green Label, but extols the eco-friendliness of real fur elsewhere on the site. What gives?
  • Blass from the Past: Check out iconic designer Bill Blass’s ad campaign against counterfeiting back in the 1960s.
  • Another blog includes pleather on its “Big List of Things That Suck” for its pollution-heavy manufacturing process.
  • This Jakarta accessories design team makes the perfect statement pieces to add life to a simple jersey dress, and best of all, they use traditional Indonesian methods and native materials to handcraft jewelry and other adornments.
