I hope Zara pays BIG time in bad PR and lawsuit settlement.

Some are very clearly 1 on 1 copies, terrible to get ripped off like that. I'm sure someone at Zara even got paid for this work to, but they should have responded way more professional, this is just bullying. The only thing missing from Bassen side is the dates on her designs, seems pretty important for this claim and the first thing I would add.

Zara didn't even change the colors of the designs which I find ridiculous. What's more, they could ask permission or give credit to tuesday

She was definitely stolen from one or two things maybe not but since there's definitely enough of them to see she was stolen from poor girl. Good

this is discusting.. I've already given up shopping there due to poor quality and high prices but now I'm boycotting them for good. They are basically telling everyone they can do what they please, like they're some kind of gods, whether it's good or bad (in this case) and without any responsibility or consequence and we can all go .. ourselves as we are just ordinary people with little influence (although it's our money we spent there that makes them so rich and powerful).. well, being an ordinary person, I will no longer shop there!

They enslave people*

They have enough money to hire the lady instead of stealing ideas... F*******s ! Go girl, fight for your rights

Can you put the links to the artist's sites? I'd love to buy a few of the pieces shown but definitely only from its real creator.

This has been happening to artists for a while now. Every once in a while I'll see another story just like this and its clear that the giant corporation just stole designs and motifs from artists. I believe Urban Outfitters has done this in the past, but because of the public out cry against it, they have since changed their "design procedure". It really sucks to try to make a living off your work and have giant corporations who could actually AFFORD to hire you, taking your working and making millions from it.

A******S!. You know, this s**t named Zara, they slavery people from China and Venezuela here in Brazil, to work for them making the clothes and stuff. Ok, not work, to be slavered for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zara Accused Of Stealing Designs? The only possible way is the way of justice and a court case, if there isn't one or never been, this is an article without value. A blow on the water without consequences, with much grandstanding at the time and fading away a week later. Now 5 years later, was there a lawsuit? I don't think I cannot read the judgment by the court online. So again a lot of blabber

If you think that’s bad, check out this Starbucks rip off https://instagram.com/p/BbM0H43HbNn/

Normally I don't too bent out of shape until the offending party is contacted and turn out to be douchebags. In this case, Zara can go to hell. I wish I had serious resources to fund that fight. It would be so fun to be a billionaire that could scare the c**p out of the company and publicly shame them. Normally I detest public shaming, but in this case I'd take out and ad showing the response and leaving it as the facts.

Cheeky bastards :/

Avoid lawyers, better have fun and kick them hard https://www.theguardian.com/news/blog/2009/jul/23/youtube-united-breaks-guitars-video

I feel awful my closet is full of Zara clothes, this is disgusting and hope all of the artist get not only recognition but an apology too, and it better be good, never buying here again.

Despicable attitude... Any big brand like this should in theory have its exclusive designs as it's highest selling point. This one is the most offensive, ridiculous slap in the face of artists and designers: It devalues their work, placing the value on the brand, as if it was a privilege to have your creation be used as an afterthought on an overpriced product for people more worried with showing off their buying power than good taste. And some designs are so simple, it's a certificate of incompetence for Zara's entire design team to resort to such a low expedient.

That is soo unfair! Where can I support you guys?

B.s. people that steal

I don't support big companies like Zara that steal all kind of designs for profit, but clearly that artist is just another hipster claiming for attention. Her designs are so similar to other artists designs, just google her drawings and you'll find there are other drawings so similar to hers. Just an example of heart lollipop: https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=heart+lollipop+drawing&hl=es-419&tbm=isch&ei=vDCWV53UK8mVjwS2oofYAw&start=40&sa=N#mhpiv=0
