EXPOSING dupe culture and the terrifying reality of what they did to me
Dupe culture = counterfeit culture. There, I said it. No one wants to hear it but it’s true, and it’s getting absolutely out of control.
I’m sharing with you what is happening to me right now because I am terrified of the future of dupe culture, especially with its popularity being propelled by the use of AI.
My Pirouette Skort was first stolen by SHEIN, twice, and then duped numerous times all over Amazon. I eventually was awarded a design patent for my skort in hopes of having some protection. Well, it’s only gotten astronomically worse after Taylor Swift wore it on TTPD release day. (Grateful forever, however, the extra exposure opened the floodgates for the counterfeiters.) There are dupers coming out from every corner of the internet and I am getting so exhausted trying to whack-a-mole each one. It’s a lawless place out there in the world of fashion and no one’s paying attention except for me and my small team, who are often notified by you guys in the DMs. Thank you for watching out for me as this becomes a bigger and bigger problem.
I’m making this video because I’m sick of it - all of it. There are too many people being taken advantage of in order for dupe culture to thrive, and guess what? The fact that it grows bigger everyday means more people are being hurt in the process, everyday. From designs being stolen to photography being stolen to content being stolen to Amazon dupe influencers promoting the fake not the original to make a little commission…it’s an evergrowing snowball of deception.
And now with AI messing with people’s faces and bodies to create even more confusion for the customer…I just feel so hopeless.
If you are wondering how you can help, I would say USE THE REPORT BUTTON if you see a dupe. These are counterfeits so you can mark as fraudulent. Your use of the report button is just as strong as mine. Any power we may be able to have is through strength in numbers. So please, if you see something weird, report it, and tell others in our community to report it too.
Thank you for watching this…I hope this video makes some sort of an impact to take down dupe culture while influencing people to shop more consciously.
