deja vu

usually it is the other way around-- americans copying french style/ trends/ fashion in general. this time around, though, it is the french who are the copycats....two recent new french websites are blatant copies of their american cousines....

Sac Deluxe is a site that specializes in renting the most current Parisian "It bags," owing its concept to the American site Bag, Borrow or Steal. great concept, if you feel the need to be up-to-the-minute in everything you are wearing or for a special soiree.

the other copycat site is Creme du Jour, a faux Daily Candy site. while i'm a big fan of the fun and fresh candy site, i'm not so sure that "creme" gets it right-- the illustrations used on the logo just aren't as good as their counterparts, and the info. is just not quite as on... but the concept is still a great one.
