Another day, another knock off. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬It’s hard enough as it is to be a Fashion designer. To come up with original ideas that are the heart & soul and identity of your brand. It’s even more heartbreaking to work so hard to manifest these ideas, only to wake up and see
an Investment firm with MILLIONS more dollars than you steal your original idea, base their entire campaign around it, and have it manufactured overseas for pennies to pump it out by the tens of thousands. Done dirt cheap done real fast.
In every other industry, ideas are protected by trademarks. Musicians, Authors, songwriters, painters, movies, hell even the papparazi photographers hiding behind
Trashcans get more protections than designers over their “art”. But fashion is just an open field for stealing ideas with no protections for the person being stolen from.
The thief is protected by the legal system which favors the one with the most 💵MONEY and the most lawyers.
It’s an extremely frustrating, expensive, legal uphill battle. Just so you can see . . . First picture is their obvious knock off. Our original Feline Fatale bodysuit was made back in 2015. To time stamp it, next photo is of Mariah Carey wearing our original Feline Fatale bodysuit for the Aug/Sept 2016 COMPLEX magazine cover. And the third image is of Christie Brinkley wearing it for her 2017 Sports Illustrated spread. #stolen #knockoff #madecheaply #cheap #inferior #fashionthieves #getyourownideas #supportsmallbusinesses #supportindependentdesigners #investinquality

Are Allen Iverson's thumbs sore? Yes. Would he probably prefer to skip Saturday night's All-Star three-point shooting contest and concentrate on his All-Star Game debut Sunday? Yes.

But will the 76ers' star shooting guard be there Saturday night, firing triples off the rack?

Thumbs up, so to speak.

"Yeah," Iverson said before dropping 41 points on the New Jersey Nets in last night's bizarre, 92-90 victory, their final game before the break. "I'm going to do it because I was asked to do it, regardless of my condition."

It's nice to be needed. It is believed league officials implored Iverson to remain involved Saturday night because of his burgeoning popularity and the fact that NBA ratings have dropped on both NBC and the Turner Network.

Iverson was the third-leading vote-getter in the fans' All-Star balloting and the leader among guards in the East. He will be one of nine players making their debut, one of seven on the East roster.

He had been contemplating dropping out of the three-point competition because both thumbs have been bothering him. He missed 10 games after fracturing the right one, and broke the left one in high school.

"Right now, the left one is bothering me more," he said. "My hands get hit a lot when I'm running through the lane, when I don't expect contact. It seems like when you have an injury, that's when you get hit on it more than anything."

He'll be in Oakland launching treys with defending champion Jeff Hornacek, Mike Bibby, Hubert Davis, Dirk Nowitzki, Terry Porter and Bob Sura. But more importantly, he'll be in the East's starting backcourt with former Temple star Eddie Jones.

At the point.

"I want to run the show," Iverson said. "Eric Snow gets to run the show here. I don't mind. I want to have fun, show people I can play the point. And I can play it."

After winning last season's scoring championship, earning first-team All-NBA recognition, finishing fourth in the balloting for Most Valuable Player, Iverson's first All-Star appearance is the next logical step in his progression.

"I just want to run up and down the court, bring my whole playground game out, throw a lot of lobs, show them it's a real All-Star Game," Iverson said.

If you get the idea he's eager, you get the idea.

"I'm looking forward to it because it's something I always wanted to do," he said. "Just to be in that environment, to be in the same city, to know I'm finally there."

That was the way he felt last season when he was named first team All-NBA. But when Sports Illustrated offered its first team at the All-Star break, the magazine selected Gary Payton and Michael Finley as its backcourt, placing Iverson and Jason Kidd on the second team.

"That doesn't mean anything," Iverson said. "The one at the end of the year is the only one that counts."
