When did this trend start happening?

And where are the knock-offs, I ask you?



Pave Punk Princess Spike Bracelet on eBay (and I think they meant pavé), for a mere $329.

I'm not going to even try and be blasé here: I think that's pretty damn cute. Rhinestone spiked bracelet! Eeeee! But THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE DOLLARS for it? Oh no, not even.

(I can't find a picture of them now, but I've seen stud earrings that match the bracelet, and those are also ridiculously cute, but insanely pricey.)

So, high-end "fashion" knock-offs of punk/deathrock stuff. I'm not surprised, I just want to know where I can find cone spikes set with rhinestones so I can make my OWN accessories.

I kinda hate but kinda love high-end goth punk stuff 'cause I know it'll trickle down eventually. EVERYONE makes Alexander McQueen and Thomas Wylde scarf knock offs now.

I'm waiting for the knock-off of the Fendi heiress's skeleton belt, 'cause $3800 for a belt is more than a little horrifying: http://www.couturelab.com/products/Skeletor_Belt-4335-c12.html

Oh, I love that belt!
Trickle down, please.

Oh, that belt! Yeah, I've been drooling over it for a while, too. And I don't even WEAR belts.
