This is not a good look on white blonde people.

But it’s if you got it flaunt it kind of thing...

TAKES THAT, VEGANS!

“She was not the hero England needed, but she was the hero who was around.”
-Intro voiceover for The Baconation of Edna Littlesworth, starring Scarlett Johansson as Edna and probably Shia LaBeef because his name means another kind of meat. Hey look I’m day drunk.

IS THERE ANYTHING BACON CANT DO?

That hashtag was fully intended.

I hope Bassen had a celebrity friend/advocate who could shame Zara into apologizing and compensating her.

No, as a former copyright lawyer, this is likely the tack they’re going to take if it gets that far: That the claimed designs are not distinctive or similar enough. If you look closely, they made some slight changes in her designs, with the intent I’m sure of claiming her copyright is too thin to extend to them.…

I’m a graphic designer, too. There’s a clear and obvious difference between being inspired by an idea, and just blatantly ripping it off.

Knowing that in the meantime, it is costing her lots of money in legal fees. If they drag it on long enough, they hope, they’ll bleed her dry.

Fuck Zara’s. Not famous enough to matter? That’s how all these companies rip off young talent. These companies stay taking things from young people looking to make their mark. Profiting off their creativity and then insulting them when confronted. GTFOH.

Could Zara be bigger assholes??? If Hard Candy can sue Katy Perry over a plain black heart design, OF COURSE this artist has a case over very obvious, distinctive designs. They are truly evil with their rationalizing of blatantly stealing from this artist.

They don’t even pretend to hide the evil anymore, do they?

I think it may be time for a RICO lawsuit.

I do a lot of graphic design work and I’ll admit that when I find stuff that I like, I’ll do my own riff on the concept or technique. (e.g.I like a color combination so I’ll apply it to one of my original designs. Or I see someone a quote laid out in an interesting way, I might use a similar layout with different…

Zara’s arguments seems less like one they are willing to truly push in court and more like a “You have us dead to rights but before we sit down at a settlement table we figured we would try this one argument and hope you go away ”.

If this is the scenario where I have to say I’m both #TeamWiles and #TeamKinney, I accept.

No more Gaga taking a ride on Kinney’s disco stick?
