Who owns a design?



No copyright protection.No patent protection.



This is all that a fashion designer has...



Why?



Apparel represents utility. As such, the courts ruled no one can own the right to the components of a garment.



Utility can become art.





Even without ownership, there is still a lot of innovation.



The creative process in fashion is open.

Designers can take designs from all of their peers, sample them, they can take any element from any garment from the entire history of fashion and use that in their own design.
