Designers headed to court again?! {Yummie Tummie & Spanx}

Here's some interesting news. Heather Thomas of Yummie Tummie {shape wear for children} and President of Times Three Clothier, LLC is accusing Spanx, INC. of copying several of her control-top camisole designs.

This story gets better and even more interesting at the end when Thomas describes her special combat look?! Get the scoop HERE.

This is a big issue for designers. Seems like a lot of designers have been going to court for copyright infringement lately. Sara Blakley of Spanx {who was just featured on one of  Fortune's Billionaire List}  had this to say:

 "Spanx was making shaping camisoles long before Yummie Tummie. We have no further comment." 

Welp, let’s see how this one turns out!

Spanx makes Sara Blakely a Billionaire!?!!



I'm all for motivational and inspirational stories, especially within the fashion industry. This story is a must see for all entrepreneurs on the rise!

We all know about Spanx right.  I'm sure your mom has a few, even your favorite woman celebrity wears them as a red carpet essential.  Spanx is the popular under-garment shapewear among woman, that gives the illusion of a darn near perfect body when worn.

This turned out to be an excellent invention because Forbes just recognized Sara Blakely as one of the youngest billionaires in the world!  That is a GIGANTIC accomplishment in such a short amount of time. 

Watch as Sara explains her rocky road to building her empire! #TakeNotes;)
