Anthropologie Sues Wal-Mart for Stealing Boho Chic
David Bollier on the news that Anthropologie and its parent company, Urban Outfitters, are suing Wal-Mart over allegedly copying the design of two skirts: "In its complaint, Anthropologie claims that Wal-Mart 'has embarked upon a conscious strategy of copying the designs of others as part of its effort to build its "cheap chic" line.' It cites the fact that Wal-Mart opened a 'trend office' in New York’s garment district to track of the latest fashion trends. Pretty alarming, eh?"
Wal-Mart, selling cheap knock-offs of trendy, high-end clothing. The nerve.

I found this very interesting based on the fact that Anthropologie and urban knocks off great designs as well. The companies private labels continue to beautifully knock off designer styles that they test out in there stores and then knock off for there private label brands. I think the company is brillant but come on really they had the nerve to go down that road when they do it as well, eh?
