However, these new and creative designs come at a very expensive price, driving many shoppers away seeking similar styles at more affordable prices. A lot of shoppers end up buying clothes that are just copies of more expensive garments, and that these pirated designs have generated a lot of controversy in the fashion industry. While shoppers and some designers may benefit from piracy, this has catastrophic affects economically and on reputation of the original designer.
