I have a lot of designer friends who just find pieces and copy them almost exactly. And people who design for a design house or brand name do just the same. They are always on 'inspiration trips' where they go to different countries to buy things to copy them with very minor changes. Pathetic. Where has all the talent and original thought gone? They just can't be bothered. Yes it’s sad. I have a lot of designer friends who just find pieces and copy them almost exactly. And people who design for a design house or brand name do just the same.

(Guilty!) As usual a copyright post makes you guys look like arseholes!

I mean, why else would Marc Jacobs have similarly appropriated the design of an obscure vintage souvenir scarf from Linsell, Sweden, figuring nobody would notice?" Considering the overwhelming majority of your accusations are in the defense of upscale labels, I think you guys should take a long, hard look at what your motives truly are, and what you're truly protecting. And maybe do a some background reading on the philosophy of intellectual copyright.

I don't even think the women who wear rings around their necks can pull that shot off.

Too close to be a coincidence. Just because it's DVF doesn't mean it's impossible to copy. I and #3 is right, if it was Forever 21 or some downscale lable you'd be all over it.
