The main point of the article is to make people be aware of how Forever21 copies the clothes of fashion designer’s. It is absolutely difficult to create beautiful, creative and unique clothes while it is extremely easy to take an idea, modify it and sell it as your own… which is what Forever21 is doing. (And no, copying and tweaking an original idea is not considered inspiration.) Bear in mind that fashion designers are also ARTISTS and they take pride in what they’ve created. It is not pleasing to any artist to have their own works stolen by others (so no, F 21 rocks, it is definitely not a compliment). It’s not surprising that the designers would sue. They want their rights to their work!

Sure Forever21 sells them for a much cheaper price, but they most certainly did not create these designs from the top of their heads. The article proves that they simply “borrowed” an idea from the runway and applied it to their name. By buying the original (though extremely expensive) clothes from the fashion designers, you are supporting THEM.

Once again, NO ONE is telling you to buy expensive designer clothes, nor is anyone saying that you should settle for the inexpensive or a fake. No one is saying that you should stop buying from Forever 21 or hate the designers who are suing them. The article’s main point is simply awareness.
