A fashion designer releases their 2D patterns and 3D models free for anyone to download and copy. They argue copying is inevitable in fashion anyway, so openness beats secrecy and accelerates change across the industry.

Every time when we released a new style for sale, we also released the 2D pattern and the 3D model for free downloading. Frankly, I mean, the whole fashion industry is built on copying. Everyone is copying each other. So we have thought, like, if anyone want to copy what we do, I'd rather see them doing a good copy than a bad copy, and then they don't have to spend weeks for, I don't know, tracing that pattern. I want to ask all of you to join in and be this catalyst of change, because this is going to happen sooner or later. You like it or not, all this information will be out there, because this has been like trade secrets for 200 years. Now it will be open for everyone.
