Recently, the United States fast fashion brand and luxury brand replica Gucci bags uk to Forever 21. The cause is: F21 is the latest part of a single product, including pilot jackets, pullovers, Gucci seems the stripe design violated its patent rights, and apply for the series F21 will withdraw.

The 1 and 3 rows are replica Gucci online uk, and the 2 and 4 rows are Forever 21

While the F21 side has rapid response, rather than admit infringement, retorted: "this is a very common design elements, many brands are useful too, by what do you take to not let others use ah, this is obviously the ridge! Broken! Okay？ "And took the cheap replica Gucci handbags UK first to court.

Well, even if you're right, replica Gucci online uk has already patented the red / Blue Stripe back in 1963. And has always been holding "you can copy my clothes, but red, blue / black stripes are my bottom line" defending attitude.

Who can tell me what F21 and replica Gucci online uk are?

And F21 says: "nobody thinks to can buy the product of Gucci in F21 store...... "

Gucci at this time......

Since the designers Alessandro Michele took office, Gucci with explosion, physical endowment, has been in the "imitation of the moment" leader position.

For example, fan impressed Mango 2015 autumn and winter Lookbook, from the T platform "copied" Gucci 2015, autumn and winter multi body Look.

"I'm not a copy, I was actually Gucci's line of":

Ironically, however, Gucci's involvement in "copying the door" has recently occurred.

In May this year, a jacket by INS Gucci 2018 in early spring series on the sharp eyed netizens pointed out that the "copy" of Dapper Dan's works. Dapper Dan in the last century in 80s for the design of Rapper had Logo with brand-name clothing, including a 1989 LV Monogram fur Gigot sleeve jacket, and is very similar to that of Gucci.

Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele later responded, "I forgot to tell you," I'm just paying tribute to Dapper Dan. "

Coincidentally, many bloggers in the Gucci 2016 spring and summer series "shopping bag" handbag, and soon after by designer Phillip Lim in INS claiming to be the "copy" in his 2014 work here

Some time ago, Gucci also fell into the whirlpool of public opinion of "minority artists":

In the Gucci 2018 early spring series, a snake pattern on a Guccifying T-shirt and a leopard logo on a handbag were challenged by New Zealand illustrator Stuart Smythe and artist Milan Chagoury".

Milan Chagoury said: "the cheetah pattern and my tattoo studio white tiger trademark is similar to that of Gucci just get rid of the text, the tiger into a cheetah down."

Stuart Smythe said: Guccifying on a T-shirt with a serpentine pattern in 2014 launched the brand logo is very similar:

"Blame me?" "

Not long ago, Pierre-Louis, a student at the Saint Martin Institute, said: "the originality in the short film" Gucci And Beyond "in Gucci copied its own concept. The student also said that he had released the series on INS more than a month earlier than Gucci.

Alessandro Michele later said in an interview that the incident was purely coincidental. Because of this group of extraterrestrial propaganda, Gucci started planning a few months ago.

This became a recent Rashomon event.

Sales soared Gucci, this is probably the right inverse [tanshou] water

There is new line - I

A lot of people might ask, "why don't you apply for a patent for clothes so that you can avoid copying?".

First of all, each brand produces a large number of different items each quarter, and it is unrealistic to apply for a patent for every single item. A small design changes can be said to be another kind of design, and to apply for a patent over a long period of time, the clothing design and release time has a cycle, so many big brands will be up for Logo to apply for a patent or trademark symbol, such as Gucci's red / blue stripes or Etro Paisley pattern etc..

This is why many fashion brands dare to openly "reference", and one of the reasons is to blame the brand. We are familiar with the Zara is a quarterly walking example, we understand:

"Copy" Celine addiction Zara, once called Zeline

However, between the big name and the big name, the so-called "plagiarism" boundaries are gradually becoming blurred, and many designers will draw inspiration from the banner of "Xi" (Chao)". Let the fan come first to show you some classic cases:

Red shoe controversy

If you ask, "apart from Christian Louboutin, has it really been a long time since other brands produced red soled shoes?" The answer is: yes!

In 2011, YSL produced from a shoe body to the soles are red high-heeled shoes, the CL filed a complaint with the court, because CL was founded on the application of the early red shoes patent in the brand, so unashamedly asked YSL for $1 million.

The end result is: YSL, the concept of this shoe is that the whole shoe is red, not just red bottom, so there is no violation of CL's "red bottom" patent.

Although YSL is a false alarm, but after stepping on a minefield, also detained on the "tort" hat, or long snack bar next time

Plagiarism in shocked fashion circles"

In 2013, including Celine, Dior, Prada, brands, have been accused of "plagiarism" classic design from designer Geoffrey Beene to costume designer Edith Head, and then to the French brand Courr ges works, spared.

All the fashion circle, including Lafayette, at the time of the reaction is a big shock.

But there are a lot of people in the circle of standing up for the designer of Celine Phoebe Philo Lanvin, former creative director Geoffrey Beene, the division of the "fat man" Alber Elbaz said at the time:

"She is a genius, she will C line from nothing into now in such a short time. I'm sure if Geoffrey Beene lived, he would be proud of his work. "

It affirms the value of Philo and Phoebe, cleverly dubbed tribute classic "name, little fat this response to the main fan out to evade the crucial point.

The late designer Geoffrey Beene is the official response: "the design of Geoffrey Beene had been in effect of other designers, this coat is his classic, it also proved that he designed the eternal. "

If you play with plagiarism, it will be difficult to rise in ten years

The same white satin suit, this set of Look the same waist clipping and cross design -- in the spring and summer of 2015 Balmain on the show, and see how in 1997 from Alexander McQueen's Givenchy suite is exactly the same:

Balmain 2015, spring, summer, VS, McQueen, for, Givenchy, 1997, spring and summer

The show is the McQueen Givenchy in 1997 after the first high Dingxiu, in Greek mythology theme, fully embodies the astonishing talent McQueen. Although as a designer in Givenchy in recent years, he has not received critical acclaim, but the show had been impressive:

So when you see Balmain the same paragraph suits, fashion is the collective public reaction. Although the law does not bear any responsibility Balmain, but after all, "hit the muzzle of public opinion", Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing has therefore been nailed to the stigma of fashion circles.

Here, fan master is seen out, between the big name "inspiration", generally have the following routines:

It is obvious that we should draw lessons from it

Maison Margiela VS Johanna Ortiz 2017 winter spring and summer of 2013:

Jean Paul Gaultier VS Oscar De La Renta 2000 spring summer 2015:

The princess of Monaco Caroline once through the JPG dress down in the 2000 Rose Ball.

Play the old club left in the new employer's

In 2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri became a design director with a high profile Dior. But after she released her first show, she was criticized by critics as saying: "there is no need for 2 Valentino in fashion circles (Maria was one of the designers of Valentin).""

Of course, as Dior's Tee hits these seasons (Slogan, cat root shoes), it seems that few people mention it again. Well, just come and talk about it:

Valentino 2015 VS Dior 2017: early autumn spring

Valentino 2016 VS Dior 2017 autumn and winter high autumn here

Valentino VS Dior: 2017 early autumn spring 2016

And if you always feel like you can find the shadow of Maison Margiela in Vetements, that's because Vetements's designer, Demna Gvasalia himself, worked in Margiela.

And the creation of Vetements several mysterious designers, whether there is Margiela himself, and now do not say oh ~!

No design inspiration? Look at Celine

Committed to the minimalist retrofit, quarterly several burst bag designer Phoebe Philo, although once in the "plagiarism", but in her under the leadership of Celine plays in the fashion circle's role in most of the time was a copycat:

Celine 2016 VS and Theory 2017 winter here

Celine VS Theory: 2017 early autumn winter 2017

Celine 2015 VS Stella McCartney 2017: early autumn autumn

Celine 2015 VS Marni 2016: Spring Autumn

Celine VS Marni: Winter 2016 spring 201

Even though designer Phoebe Philo once said in an interview, "I don't care if people copy my designs.". "But many years have been caught in the heavily affected areas, I believe she will feel tired.".

So later, when the Celine "copy" the back of white shoes after eating melon is most people's response: "we did not expect to wear decades of domestic brands will be the big international" copy ", it is for back! "Once flooded" plagiarism "focus.
