I created COPY | RIGHT as a critical commentary on the theft of intellectual property. This collection mimics the “knockoff” by becoming one itself. Each garment is designed to delude viewers by combining real and fake construction details. In order to copy “right,” all garment details are 50% real and 50% fake, with digitized pixelated prints representing iconic garment details designed to deliberately mimic the actions of the copying processes prevalent in the fashion industry.
