Default What was Supre thinking??

So I'm flipping thru the 08 catalog from Four Seasons and I see that Supre's newest stuff looks strangly familiar... Every single bottle is another company's bottle!

Their new line of superior formulas are the same as DS' Boutique line, which is a whole 3 pages ahead in the catalog. Black Orchid, Mirage and Crave...

Next page is an advanced line, Bronze Candy & Secret Crush,same bottles as Splash tonics! The caps are from Synergy's Cupid Spell line, just silver and not red...

Next is Hot Pursuit and Strapless. Same bottle as their Coca Beach with the cap from DS' Ultimate Love Junkie.

Flip the page for the next two new ones, Prism and Fused... Norvelle's shampoo-esque bottles in shiny wrappers.

I get that some bottles will reappear... but EVERY bottle???

Imitation is the highest form of flattery. If its working, copy that!

I beg to differ. Imitation is the highest form of lack of inginuity, originality, and just flat out laziness to try to have a new, intriguing idea to bring to the table.

Shame on you Supre, and everyone on your design team. Being innovative is the key to today's market. Although, the labels do look awesome ! lol

Imitation...like when all the pengiuns stand on the edge of the ice and push and shove each other collectively until a few fall off into the water...(true facts here now) this is their instinctive way of checking to see if their preditors, the sea lions, are lurking in the dark water below...if a few fall off and don't come back up, they wait to go into the water and try again later....

The moral to the story is, if you continue to mindlessly imitate others, you may find yourself as someone else's LUNCH!!!

Why are you picking on me? Alan said it first. Are you afraid of picking on the dictator?
