This Designer Is Warning People Of The Dangers Of Fast Fashion After She Found Brand Photos On Knockoff Retailer Sites
"All I keep hearing from everyone is 'there's nothing you can do,' and I'm going to fight back against that and do everything in my power to get this message out."
Laura Fisher, 44, is the designer behind the small and sustainable fashion brand RevivALL Clothing. Based in Montana, Laura's clothes are all made in America from deadstock fabric using low-waste practices.
It's not exactly cheap to manufacture clothes this way, but to Laura, it's an important part of her brand and what motivated her to start her business. So when she learned that her photos and designs were popping up on fast fashion websites that she's in no way affiliated with, she was outraged.
Laura told BuzzFeed she became aware of the sites in early January when one of her followers spotted a strange website that appeared to be running Facebook and Instagram ads using Laura's images and videos. "From then on, I had a constant stream of messages on my Facebook and Instagram with photos and links to the ads. I have over 70,000 followers, so you can imagine how many messages I was receiving."
