My work(all made by my hand)

[surver]

in case you all are wondering, i do know and am very clear about the difference between 'inspired by' and 'direct plagiarism'.

it is stuff like this that are spawning the rampage of fakes and copies flooding the china market of all the respected designers in this forum... all your unknowing, uninitiated naivete-s are just giving encouragement and 'justification' to these people for what they are doing.

please look up www.taobao.com and flip through all the fakes/copies that ride the coattails of almost every single designer under discussion in this forum.

That's good but once again, can we see the actual Uma pieces you think are being ripped off here? I couldn't find anything during a quick search so this discussion is kind of in a vacuum for now.

please spend a bit of time sifting through her collections: www.umawang.com and you will understand what i have been saying. of course it would help if you have first hand experience with her fabrics...

Do you have first hand experience with Zaz work? How does that help?

OK for a third time -- now that you're officially being an annoying asshole on a thread for someone's original work -- can you please post what you think is a direct rip if you're going to accuse people of plagiarism? It's no one's job to figure out what you're referring to.

well, mark me as 'annoying' if you wish.

unfortunately, it is not my job to educate the uneducated and uninformed either, especially when you are not willing to do your own research and understand the differences more...

let's let this stop here. i see no point in turning this into a debacle. i am sure zaz is fully aware of what my comments mean.

How is it not your job to back up what you yourself started?

frankly your cluelessness and self-righteousness is even more annoying, and i really cannot be bothered to entertain you.

i'm sorry.

and, like i said, i'm sure zaz is very clear on what i am saying... so let's leave it at that.

Frankly attacking the integrity of someone's work without having the basic integrity to provide evidence makes you a fucking halfwit, so cheers to leaving it at that.

SIGH...
