Brands Sue Forever 21 For Copying Designs

Fast fashion retailer Forever 21 is facing a bevy of lawsuits from designers who claim the chain is knocking off their designs. Bebe, Diane von Furstenberg, Anthropologie and Anna Sui are just a few of the brands taking legal action against the retailer for intellectual property violations.

Forever 21 doesn’t have its own in-house design team and is accused of stealing designs from other vendors, according to reports.

The cases could put the spotlight on fast fashion retailers in general and encourage more designers to copyright their fabric designs.
