Came across Part Nouveau via Hint, which aims to give credit where credit’s due. Lilah Ramzi, a graduate student of fashion history, created the site in an effort to identify, “…anything within the creative field that borrows, reappropriates or is directly inspired by a work which preceded it”.

Below is an art comparison (ripoff?

I have Chaos from the series, but have almost given up hope of finding any of the other books in English.):
