Three independent artists have filed a lawsuit in California federal court alleging that Shein is responsible for copyright infringement of their work.
Their suit alleges that Shein’s business model has resulted in “a pattern of systematic criminal intellectual property infringement.”The three artists also allege that the algorithm was sanctioned by Shein’s founder Chris Xu.
The filing alleges that Shein “has made billions by creating a secretive algorithm that astonishingly determines nascent fashion trends — and by coupling it with a corporate structure, including production and fulfillment schemes, that are perfectly executed to grease the wheels of the algorithm, including its unsavory and illegal aspects. To the uninitiated, the consumer-facing aspects of the model are utterly unfamiliar.
Perry deferred comment to Gluck, who said that all three artists were clients of his firm, who already had claims and were brought together in the new lawsuit.
