Yep. I'd say that as long as you avoid using brand names, you'll be OK. Just don't call your clothes 'Stella McCartney for Poser' or anything. The fashion industry is pretty incestuous. They all rip each other off like crazy. It's called 'referencing', which basically means looking through old magazines and stealing ideas. The clothes are mostly so inbred that it would be difficult to know if you were copying or not. But I'd still avoid exact copies. You can use a piece as a base idea, and elaborate on it. Copying's no fun anyway. Um.... can you tell I was a fashion photographer? No one hates the industry like the people who were in it. LOL. mac
