A New York designer alleges that Philipp Plein’s spring 2020 collection looks a little too similar to his original artwork and has sued for copyright infringement. The Fashion Law reports that Resurrect by Night founder Daren Chambers believes some of Plein’s collection includes ripped-off versions of his original work. Both of the supposedly stolen designs include art of “skull-faced characters,” one in a “short dress” and another “raising clenched fists.” Chambers is currently suing Plein—a celebrity favorite—in federal court for damages. Representatives for both Plein and Resurrect by Night did not respond to a request for comment.
