updates on fashion copyright

Just last year American designers proposed the idea to stop other companies from imitating their hard worked designs. Senator Charles E. Schumer spoke on these issues uesterday at the Fashion Institue of Technology, according to the New York Times.

In addition, to reference of Schumer's speech the article brought up Fashionista.com which has been listing examples entitled, "Adventures in Copyright".

Though many in the fashion industry are for such copyright laws there are also prominent figures in fashion against these laws. Among these are Allen Schwartz of ABS, whose main role as a designer is copying dresses worn on the red carpet.
