You Look Awfully Familiar of the Day: Tori LaConsay says H&M lifted a piece she did as a “love letter” to the East Atlanta Village that’s been on display on the main thoroughfare since December 2008.
H&M, which has a strikingly similar-looking “you look nice today” and heart glyph for sale on doormats and guest towels, initially claimed it was definitely not influenced by LaConsay’s work, but is now said to be “looking into the situation” (likely spurred into action by the thousands of negative comments left on their Facebook page by people who feel as LaConsay does).
What say you? Plagiarism or pure coincidence?
[regretsy.]
How could you look at that and not know it was plagiarized?! The font and word placement is nearly identical. I hope Tori LaConsay gets a fair cut from this.
It’s completely obvious to anyone that this is plagiarism. There is very little difference between the two.](http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyd69atn2Y1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
