wow i had no idea narciso was spearheading this. you know,i feel very strongly that copy-cats of all forms should be held accounted as there is just no justification for it except pure unscrupled profit. when you steal a designers idea,you tend to steal away part of their identity. and you know,i am not a fan of rodriguez,but i respect the fact that he's been very genuine in every aspect of his body of work. and therefor he has every right to do this. what i would like to see more of however,are more designers that have the gall to start taking on these high-fashion corporate brands who rip-off other designers just as easily as chain-stores. i mean,hello prada is one the biggest culprits....marc jacobs....nicholas at balenciaga has been known to plagerise as well. so it's fairly obvious and quite often talked about but no one prominent has really stepped up to the plate.
