Poaching in Fashion 

Brief

Though fashion is ancient, there have been lots of replicas or even straight up stolen work from a designer that was reiterated into the same concept by another designer. Not only does deception affect ones future career status or credibility, but it also harms their demand deposit. 

 
 

Fast Fashion Brands  

The year of 2022 was yet another year for the increase of ‘trendy fashion’. One brand that has skyrocketed is the China-based company named Shein. Shein is known for its impressively low prices on just about anything that you can think of. Their clothing in general has marked the brand to be an iconic affordable outlook for all.  

Since the popularity of Shein has enlarged, unethical measures taken unethical measures to keep the brand afloat by stealing inspiration from up and coming designers by using their social platforms to see their work. 

According to Plagarismtoday, though Shein has been accredited for plagiarizing small business companies, it has not shunned them from continuing such bad behavior, but in fact has made it an even more predominant ‘everything you need cheap company’. In the article, Bailey Prado rightfully accused Shein for stealing, producing and selling a grand total of 45 of her scale design depictions. She also expressed her pain that these ‘trendy companies’ will be able to go ahead with their everyday lives as long as they can continue to profit from these small under rated companies.

High-Fashion Brands 

                                                                                                 It has become very accepting that a big sum of ‘trendy brands’ steal complete ideas from small businesses or companies, but it uncommon for big High-Fashion brands to steal from small businesses until now.  

In the mid of 2019 as reported by Hungertv , Billie Eilish merged her clothing identity with Siberia Hills to create some clothing concepts. After its launch, many spectators found that the chosen designs for Billie Eilish’s collaboration were looted from a young animation creator. Unlike other brands, Siberia Hills took proprietorship for their involvement of the scandal, apologized to the creator, as well as they ceased all production of the concepts. 

 

                                 

International Fashion

Due to me living in the United States, I don’t often apprehend much scandal on international affairs. After the proper research, I found that it has become an awful thing for these different countries outside of the U.S.A. are being targeted for their ethnical aesthetic. If you’ve ever heard of Mexican culture, then it is presumed that it consists of vibrant reds, yellows, purples, oranges, and often green. The prints in Mexican standards are a variety of stripes and beautiful line work. 

After thorough research, it was found in an article at Fashionunited, that civilians in Mexico came together to blast their claims of the fashion creator Isabel Marant for using patterns and colors from their everyday livelihood and exposing it into fashion for their own personal use. It is not uncommon for cultural aspects to be incorporated into fashion and the city of Mexico did not ‘let it slide’. Ultimately, the designer pleaded to give the humanities their applause when doing fashion going forward as well as a voice of regret.
