Well, copying these useless and uncomfortable looking foot things.
Aquazzuras dispute with Ivanka Trump is now officially headed to court.
On Wednesday, the label filed a suit in the U.S. District Court in New York against Trump and her shoe label partners M.B. Fisher LLC and Marc Fisher Footwear, for copying Aquazzuras strappy, fringed Wild Thing sandal and Forever Marilyn pump. Trump distributes a strappy, fringed sandal under the style name Hettie and a black heel called Teagin.

Anyone can do it. Find a successful outfit, buy it in multiple sizes, take it apart into the separate pieces that constructed it, and there lies a blueprint on how to manufacture it.
Everyone gets ripped off in fashion.

(47,209 posts)What kind of sizing as well as proportion is expected for who you are selling it to. And how much money you can sell it for at some sort of a profit. Margins are much lower in popular priced clothing these days. The construction and materials cheaper than ever. So you try to get the look or spirit of the design.
Women's clothing is sized differently depending on where you go. Some is more vanity sized than cheaper outlets, I can be anywhere from a four to a ten, a small to a large depending.
Yeah I've been doing this a long ass time!
