(Shark) Biters.What is this about?
thx tang. vry eloquent way of describing it.A designer copying the ideas of another designer. "Biting" is slang for (design) plagiarism.
that comes from the song "shark n****s (biters)" by raekwon, from his album Only Built 4 Cuban LinxThanks...
And what is shark?
Everybody is making the saaaaame thing.
i'm not going to say that you missed the point completely...but you're missing the point. adhering to a trend is only a weak form of biting. in fact if you're just trying to sell clothing, that doesn't make you a designer, it makes you a business man. biting is much more egregious.
i have no idea what you are talking about...and i don't think you do eitheri'm not going to say that you missed the point completely...but you're missing the point. adhering to a trend is only a weak form of biting. in fact if you're just trying to sell clothing, that doesn't make you a designer, it makes you a business man. biting is much more egregious.
see, this is shark biting.i think i get what he is trying to say
a blue striped dress appeares on the catwalk...
biting: is taking a blue dress with stripes that clearly only was released by one design house the previous season, now is on the catwalk of annother fashion house looking suspiciously similar (colour, cut, detail etc) to the one from the last season.
trend forcast: when a trend is seen, a few people have started to head in a 'blue' direction and perhaps a 'striped' direction and alot of houses start releasing blue and striped dresses.
there does seem to be a fine line though.
perhaps recent examples:
trend forcasting, 'chloe' dresses appearing on every catwalk (even though this was a trend already on the catwalks at lanvin etc)
'biting' the LV coloured and resurgence of the classic print on bags caused prints 'very close' to the LV signature print being placed on everything from baby phat to $2 bags sold on the side of the road.
i see...hmmm...how to explain...
do you guys know the difference between an auteur and just a regular director? this difference must exist in clothing right?
