 Plagiarism is bothering Bollywood’s renowned fashion designer Manish
Malhotra. Soon he will be getting a copyright for his creations and will
ask designers to follow his way. If it happens, it would be the first
time that someone unites the entire Indian Fashion Industry against
plagiarism.
The fashion industry is growing quickly in India. But it lacks both
discipline and originality. Quite often, we get to see designers
directly lift from another designer’s creation. But there is no
authority or governing body in the industry to keep a check or take
legal actions against them.
Manish Malhotra is very offended with this situation and has decided
to take proper steps to stop this practice. He says that he has been
severely affected by plagiarism. He also adds that a designer’s creation
is an essence of success, and it becomes very difficult for the
designer to survive if it gets stolen.
He admits that the industry needs a governing body to keep an eye on
people lifting other’s designs. He says that he is going to get a
copyright for all his designs and signature and will also ask other
designers to do the same. He believes that this is the only way, to
detect the guilty, and take proper legal steps. He thinks that this will
set an example.
Manish has also designed a costume for Sri Lanka’s cricket team
captain Sangakkara as he got to walk the ramp at the IIFA Award ceremony
held in Colombo this year.
