Well, I'm not a fan of knockoffs and I'll buy the real thing, but I couldn't do that when I was in high school, I've definitely got a better job nowadays. Not everybody's got the money and half the time it's hard to tell the real thing from fake unless you know the product like the back of your hand. I say if it looks good, and you can pull it off, go ahead and rock it.

First, understand the difference between fake and knock-off. A fake is when Mr. X makes a handbag himself and puts a Calvin Klein label on it. But, if the same Mr. X sees a Calvin Klein shirt, in red silk, and makes it in blue cotton, but does not say that it is a Calvin Klein shirt, or whatever, that is a knock-off. And who is to say a knock-off isn't better than the original? Personally, I prefer cotton to silk. Also, think: Who would want to buy the original every time? Answer: Either someone who is going to use the item a lot or someone who has too much money to look for something cheaper. Now, what if you want something that looks stylish, but you want to use it only a week or two, and you aren't rich? And my clincher: How many people even know ALL of the famous designer brands? Can you always tell, with a single glance, if something is designer or knock-off? I guarantee you, that, even if YOU can, most people cannot. So, someone who is buying a decent knock-off is actually smarter, in a way, than someone who buys only designer brands.

Sometimes you can't tell the difference in the knock off and the real thing if people stop being so materialistic then it wouldn't matter in the world about fake or real that's a old old question why people deal with fake things ....the answer the world will never know

First, understand the version between fake and knock-off. a pretend is while Mr. X makes a handbag himself and places a Calvin Klein label on it. yet, if the comparable Mr. X sees a Calvin Klein shirt, in pink silk, and makes it in blue cotton, yet would not say that that's a Calvin Klein shirt, or however, that's a knock-off. And who's to assert a knock-off is not greater useful than the unique? in my opinion, I desire cotton to silk. additionally, think of: Who could choose for to purchase the unique each time? answer: the two somebody who is going to apply the object lots or somebody who has too lots money to look for something greater no longer expensive. Now, what in case you go with for something that seems chic, yet you go with for to apply it in basic terms a week or 2, and you're no longer wealthy? And my clincher: how a lot of people even understand all of the nicely popular fashion designer manufacturers? are you able to continuously tell, with a single look, if something is fashion designer or knock-off? I assure you, that, whether you could, maximum folk won't be able to. So, somebody who's paying for a good knock-off is surely smarter, in a fashion, than somebody who buys in basic terms fashion designer manufacturers.

Sometimes its just to try to fit in on a very limited budget, other times people embrace the fakes as a statement against the expensive stuff.

I'd rather buy the style not the name.
So if I can get a stylish knock-off without wasting my $$ on buying the name, then I'm going to save myself some cash.

why does it matter to you. maybe people like the look or how it makes them feel. reading vouge you wanna be sexy like kate moss but you cant afford to so you get the cheaper version that still gets the job done.
go for it. wear a fake and enjoy it.

Some fake stuff are such you won't be able to make out the difference. So think again when you judge anyone based on what they are wearing.

why waste your money on the real thing when you can get something that looks exactly like it and does the same thing for half the price?
