In this edition of "which fast-fashion brand has ripped off an indie designer today?" Forever 21 is coming under fire for copying a design from label Bow & Drape.
The item in question at Forever 21 is a sweatshirt that reads "Hangry," surrounded by illustrations of various foods—very similar to one of Bow & Drape's designs.
Aubrie Pagano, one of the NYC-based label's founders, spotted the Forever 21 sweatshirt while leaving her office in Soho.
"When I walked into the store to take a closer look at it, I immediately saw a folded pile of 'Hangry' sweatshirts," Pagano told Refinery29. "I did a double take because they took everything, from the phrase to the random assortment of bananas, doughnuts, tacos, and pizza."
Pagano instantly took a photo of the sweater and posted a side by side image of it by her Bow & Drape sweater on Instagram.
