Sunday Times in fashion mixup

Confusing a designer outfit with a similar item that can be bought in a supermarket is the kind of fashion crime that would have made the Vogue interns in The Devil Wears Prada throw themselves out of a penthouse window on to Fifth Avenue. Yet the Sunday Times's Style magazine recently made just such a blunder and there have been no reports of fashionistas wailing in Wapping. Did nobody notice? Skinted/minted, a regular feature, contrasts a costly buy (a £1,700 Gucci dress, in this case) with a cheap equivalent. And they got the photos the wrong way round. How does Monkey, unlikely to be found hanging out with the likes of Gok and Alexa, know this? Because a friend bought the frock labelled "Gucci" for £16 at Asda.
