Transcript
I thought I was mad when Glassons ripped off my best selling designs and then I found out that 14 women, 14 just like me, from the designs, styling and bias teams all follow me and like all of my posts, especially the ones of the designs they've duped. So I'd love to see the group chat that they're sharing them in. I'm officially being ganged up on by big kids. And I can't believe that this is what the fashion industry is. It makes me sick.
