“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.”
Henry Ford
“Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.”
Karl Lagerfeld

Enticing consumers to buy clothing by establishing new trends is, some have argued, a key component of the industry's success. Intellectual property rules that interfere with this process of trend-making would, in this view, be counter-productive. On the other hand, it is often argued that the blatant theft of new ideas, unique designs, and design details by larger companies is what often contributes to the failure of many smaller or independent design companies.
