Forever 21 was never really my thing, even when I was in my twenties. I just didn't shop there because I found the clothes too trendy and short-lived. I don't need to recycle my wardrobe every time a new trend comes out. That being said, I wasn't pro-Forever 21 or con-Forever 21 either. More of a "meh, it's just not my style" kind of thing. Until now. As a fashion junkie, this just crosses the line.
I'm appalled that Forever 21's "creative team" is basically not doing any real work. Sure, we all get inspiration and ideas from others. But to stoop so low as to blatantly steal an exact design? Unbelievable. C'mon, how about some real creativity? Isn't that what you're paid to do? Who is signing off on these anyway? Sure, eco-friendly designs are great too, but I'm more flabbergasted about the complete fashion plagiarism. And how do they continue to get away with it? Lawsuit after lawsuit, and they still do it? Have you no ethics? Have you no shame? Dirty, sneaking, thieving bastards!
