Levi’s has accused Kenzo of copying the iconic red tabs used on its jeans pockets in its most recent collection, modelled by Britney Spears Levi’s first introduced the “Tab Device” in the 1930s, to distinguish its products from the hundreds of other denim labels on the market.

There is a long history of high fashion brands suing lower fast-fashion brands (Zara, Urban Outfitters, etc.) for ripping off their designs. The trend is particularly disastrous to those big companies, who display their designs on a runway months before they will ever be available to purchase in a brick-and-mortar store or online. On the other hand, fast-fashion labels can look directly to runway shows and immediately produce ripoffs that can be on their shelves within weeks.
