The protection of design
The dress from Marc by Marc Jacobs could be one of most copied dresses after Michelle Obama wore.
I chose the issue of the protection of design as the theme of my presentation at my pre-sessional course. ― I'm currently taking the course to prepare for my postgraduate study!
It's far difficult to find imitative dresses compared to leather products since there are thousands of new dresses every season. In addition to this, it is sure that most trends come from runway anyway, so it is hard to say if the design is imitative or just got inspiration.
It's partly nice everyone can enjoy trendy clothing at affordable price. But luxury brands' products are produced by the all effort of designers and craftmanship which need to be remembered.
As high-street fashion is much popular here rather than Tokyo, I probably have a strong interest in this theme.
