Questions About Design Inspiration
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Many things inspired Alexander McQueen's designs. The fabrics and styles of traditional clothing worn in India, Africa, Turkey, China and Japan served as sources of inspiration. Music, film, theater, the natural world and the designer's own Scottish heritage also influenced his work. Explore a large collection of Alexander McQueen on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 10, 2025Whether designer-inspired handbags are legal varies. In the U.S., patent laws prevent brands from producing bags that are too similar to those manufactured by designers, and copyright and trademark laws prohibit the integration of designer logos into third-party bags. However, some designer-inspired bags don't seek to completely copy the originals. Instead, they may feature unique designs and truly draw inspiration from the trends set by luxury fashion houses. In some cases, these bags may not infringe on intellectual property rights and, therefore, can be legal. Consult a legal expert if you're concerned about whether a particular bag may violate laws. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of handbags.
