Splurge vs. Steal

How do you copyright fashion design?
Designers try to put the copyright for their designs. Copyright law protects a creator of original material - like a songwriter or screenwriter - but clothing is not protected. For example;
A bag by Bottega Veneta (bottom) sells for $1,680 at Bergdorf Goodman, while the Urban Outfitters version (top) is $48.
