Sonia Edwards, a bikini designer known for her signature Infinite multiway bikini top, faced a setback in her legal battle against fast-fashion retailer Boohoo.com. The judge ruled against her claims of design infringement, citing a lack of originality in her work and a minimal online presence that made it unlikely Boohoo's designers had seen her designs. This case highlights the challenges smaller designers face when competing against large fast-fashion companies, bringing attention to issues of design integrity and originality in the fashion industry.
A judge concluded that despite evident occasions where designs are copied from social media by Boohoo companies, it was unlikely Edwards' designs had significant originality.
The stark truth is that there are also only so many ways to design clothing to fit the human body, limiting the originality of a bikini design.
