    Independent designers, fast-fashion brands and design theft

    When Toronto entrepreneurs Rose Chang and Stephanie Drabik heard about the alleged copying of designs by illustrator Tuesday Bassen by fast-fashion retailer Zara, they were appalled. “We didn’t know that we were also ripped off until another designer, Adam J. Kurtz, posted one of his designs that was stolen and we saw ours on there as well,” Chang and Drabik, the co-owners and founders of fashion and accessories line Crywolf, tell Yahoo Canada Style in an email.
