As I've said before, Rodarte has had a very busy year. There was Target and a mini-doc with Tavi for Style.com, not to mention the newly released tees and sweatshirts done in collaboration with artists David Sherry and Autumn de Wilde for Opening Ceremony. Also fresh to hit the retailer's racks are looks from Rodarte's premiere men's collection. But, according to a post on Fashion Indie, the launch may spawn a fair share of controversy thanks to one commenter's potentially flammable comment on Opening Ceremony's blog.

Specifically, the controversy is surrounding what may be Rodarte's uncouth copycatting of Comme des Garçons circa FW06:

"I’m gagging at these prices!!! I do love how Rodarte has been able to take the same knit Junya Watanabe did for *Fall 2006, repackage it and sell it for thousands of dollars(a semester’s tuition btw). I’ll be looking on etsy for a knockoff of the knockoff. ps: making the same dress every season can only get you so far."

Images of the two looks are above so you can judge for yourself.
