According to the Post, David Yurman is steaming mad over Kate Moss' jewelry ads for her new line for Fred, because they look a lot like the ads Moss starred in for David Yurman's spring 2011 collection. A rep from David Yurman told Page Six: "The Fred campaign is embarrassingly similar to the one David Yurman ran a year ago. When you are a leader in your category, you get used to people copying you. We are confident consumers know the difference."
Okay, absolutely, it's true—they look a lot alike. But then again, don't most jewelry ads look similar to each other? A quick Google search revealed that most high-end jewelry ads contain at least one of the following three elements, if not all: topless-ness, a hand-in-front-of-the-face pose, and sprawling out on your belly, topless. Take a look at the gallery above to see what we mean.
