Forever 21 Doing What They Do Best: Copying People

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Forever 21 is like a big, bad Hollywood movie studio that just keeps ripping off borrowing the ideas of others for profit. And we point to exhibit 1,000,0005: the duplication of R. Land's Loss Cat character and tee. This is NOT one of those fuzzy cases of copyright infringement, but a pretty blatant cut-and-paste. Right down to the same picture. (Interestingly enough Loss Cat had been licensed to Urban Outfitters, a business that's no stranger to being on the bad end of copyright infringement lawsuits.) While we totally believe this story -- the sad fact of the matter is that over the weekend, we ourselves saw the Forever 21 pirated version of a friend's dress -- we can't find the actual F21 t-shirt online. Stay tuned?
