Another day, another knock off. 🤦🏻♀️🤬It’s hard enough as it is to be a Fashion designer. To come up with original ideas that are the heart & soul and identity of your brand. It’s even more heartbreaking to work so hard to manifest these ideas, only to wake up and see
an Investment firm with MILLIONS more dollars than you steal your original idea, base their entire campaign around it, and have it manufactured overseas for pennies to pump it out by the tens of thousands. Done dirt cheap done real fast.
In every other industry, ideas are protected by trademarks. Musicians, Authors, songwriters, painters, movies, hell even the papparazi photographers hiding behind
Trashcans get more protections than designers over their “art”. But fashion is just an open field for stealing ideas with no protections for the person being stolen from.
The thief is protected by the legal system which favors the one with the most 💵MONEY and the most lawyers.
It’s an extremely frustrating, expensive, legal uphill battle. Just so you can see . . . First picture is their obvious knock off. Our original Feline Fatale bodysuit was made back in 2015. To time stamp it, next photo is of Mariah Carey wearing our original Feline Fatale bodysuit for the Aug/Sept 2016 COMPLEX magazine cover. And the third image is of Christie Brinkley wearing it for her 2017 Sports Illustrated spread. #stolen #knockoff #madecheaply #cheap #inferior #fashionthieves #getyourownideas #supportsmallbusinesses #supportindependentdesigners #investinquality
