Plagiarism


I was reading in drapers the other day Hells Angels the motorcycle gang are suing McQueen, Saks Fith Avenue and zappos.com for using their logos on clothes. After plagiarism was mentioned the other day its interesting to see that even the highest levels of fashion still struggle with the concept. The retailers have been ordered to take all merchandise with Hells Angels death head off of the shelves.



I also found this video of a women giving a talk about creative copyright and how you can't really copyright clothes. It's 15 minutes of her talking about how she thinks its ok for designers to just copy designs. To me this is pointless, why would you want to become a designer if you just want to copy what's been done before?
