The greatest asset a
designer has, is their
creativity.
The satisfaction of purchasing and then wearing a designer
brand comes from knowing and respecting the creative mind that imagined it in the first place and respecting the steps it took to bring that product to you.

When that creativity is
stolen, it compromises their business.
Counterfeiting of fashion, is not only a
crime, but a violation of both the designer and the consumer.
Nearly 75% of the women questioned admitted to buying a
counterfeitt product, making it a multi billion dollar global industry.
Most of them, knowingly bought a designer counterfeit
handbag.
What can the design community really do to affect a change in counterfeiting ?
That was something that the
CFDA has tackled the past three years, deciding to raise awareness against counterfeit goods.
Taking the handbag as a canvas, over 90 designers this year created a One-of-a-Kind Tote bag bearing the "YOU CAN'T FAKE FASHION" Slogan... Infusing in each piece their personality, creativity & originality.
For the first time they are available at auction on eBay until midnight of March 25th.
Fashion lovers all over the world can carry the message that "
YOU CAN'T FAKE FASHION" raising awareness of the value of real design & spreading the message that...
FAKE FASHION IS NOT FASHIONABLE AT ALL !!!
