How the heck do you copyright a flying bird on a tshirt? Ridiculous.

Well I'm sure the design belongs to whomever published the book Jonthan Livingston Seagull. It's the cover art.

to me, an Adventure in Copyrights post always means "don't buy any of these items"

I had a shirt like this when I was like 7 - do we say OP was the original, no.

It's a t-shirt with a seagull. Big whoop. This seems less like blatant copyright infringement; just not that interesting. Plus I think it was posted previously, albeit without the F21 shirt included.

Thanks Fashonista for showing that not just "low budget" brands are inspired by other designers. Wow Marc Jacobs was trolling the mall and decides to rework the Hollister Brand Logo? HA!

Sorry, but this isn't a copyright infringement by F21. No one is going to look at that shirt and think, "I thought that was a Hollister shirt!" Please, the shirts are just similar and that's it. It seems like Fashionista has a vendetta against Forever 21.

I don't care about the copyright so much as the inauthenticity of the Hollister Dockweiler shirt. Too Dockweiler Beach is not in Hawaii or Malibu. But I guess that par for the course for a Cincinatti based "surf" or "California Lifestyle" brand.
