Topshop has gone and done it again

Balenciaga Spring 2008 RTW, style.com

The high street mainstay has been overrun with florals for a while now, not to mention what seems like 10,000 different Luella-"inspired" tiered ruffled minis. Now they've done their versions of the most distinctive Spring 08 RTW collection.

Of course, the beauty of the Balenciaga collection lies in the juxtaposition of the florals with clothing architecture, and this architecture can't be replicated by mass production - not a level where it's profitable anyway.

Still, I'm curious to see the actual pieces in Topshop. They've been trying their hand at sculptural pieces - there was a black cropped jacket with an awkwardly curved sleeve a while back - so I'd like to see how far along they are now.
