So glad this is getting some press. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be when you ultimately realise no one is going to apologise let alone compensate for it.
PS stopped at the traffic lights on King St outside Made 590 last night and very happily turned my head to the right and saw the greate new Alice window installation you guys did. Looks fabbbbbbbbbulous.

Argh! This makes me so angry! And this is the 2nd time I’ve read about Aussie indie designer being ripped off in the last few weeks. I’m going to have to make a stink about this publicly too. Sorry guys that this has happened to you.

It’s terrible that these large companies can get away with it just by passing the buck. I’ve never been to a Topshop store and I never will now!
Shannon says:
I will post to my facebook page and tell people not to support Topshop. Thanks for sharing, it’s sickening. A lot of baby clothes wholesalers do this too. I once did graphic design work for one and they asked me to start copying designs from overseas saying no one will find out. Of course I left that job!

that’s disgusting, i’m glad this was published! shame on topshop!
Shellie says:
I run two Independent Craft websites and find copyright a major issue, when “Big” (funded corporation) people realize your a “little” (indie) guy they think they can get away with anything.
