Isabel Marant or Asos?

Isabel Marant Godart embroidered cropped skinny jeans/
ASOS Statement Jacket with Embroidered Sleeves

Usually when I do one of these posts I find a reasonable dupe for a designer item be it shoes or a jacket or a bag. This time around I found a pair of Isabel Marant embroidered jeans that so obviously influenced this Asos jacket I had to share.

The black and white base pattern, the red embroidery make these two look like they might have come from the same collection. Well digitally anyways. The feel is almost Mexicana, like one of those outfits from the movies from the 1950’s where a slim embroidered pant is paired with a matching jacket and a wide brim hat. Almost Three Amigos, but in a good way.

Yes the Isabel Marant pants show more white than black whereas the jacket is the opposite, still I don’t doubt Asos designers were heavily influenced by Marant when they created this jacket. In fact if you look more closely at the Spring Summer 13 collection there are a number of tops with the similar black and white and red embroidery like the Asos Jacket.

What do you think? Do you like this style? Which do you prefer?
