Comments on: rosa pomar + oilily: blatant ripoff? http://whipup.net/2009/03/25/rosar-pomar-oilily-blatant-ripoff/ handcraft in a hectic world Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:20:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Vickihttp://whipup.net/2009/03/25/rosar-pomar-oilily-blatant-ripoff/#comment-759286 Vicki Mon, 10 May 2010 03:16:34 +0000 http://whipup.net/?p=8869#comment-759286 This is a blantant ripoff - though clearly an inferior copy. Doesn't do much for the artist to know that - I know. As a designer myself, I constantly fear this indignity. A friend of mine tried this approach: Small company says to large company - say something like this- "clearly you like my work. How about if we collaborate on the next project and share the profits?" It may be the only way to get any closure on it. Shame on them. I'm emailing them now. This is a blantant ripoff – though clearly an inferior copy.

I was creating original designs for children - boutique type clothing and selling on Ebay a few years ago. I created a really cute ruffled skirt using tulle net enclosed by ribbon in three coordinating colors which were sewn on the "outside" of the skirt - I was the first to do it. Anyway, about 2 months later I see my design being used by Baby Lulu. It happens. Can I prove she stole my idea? No. Rather than be angry, I just took it as a compliment.There really are no true original ideas - we see things and they seep into our subconscious and we create. The only way to keep your ideas safe is to copyright them - then you might have a chance but it's a long involved process. I feel for her but it happened to me too.

I am really sad about this... I was a huge fan (and buyer) of Oilily clothes. I never thought they would do such a thing. They have lost a client. :O!

Stuff like this makes me feel ill. You'd think that a large company like that would have a creative team that could come up with something original. Sheesh.
