Faking creatively?

wow MayDay, those people are talented!
She states the reason behind her project as "an attempt to insert strange variants into the stream of commerce and consumption" which I think is total bull because designers come out with new products every season. Still, it's some great crochet work.
But now this makes me think.... is encouraging people to make their own fakes and then carry them, just as bad as selling fakes?
I think it is in a way, because people are encouraged to make fake bags that they normally wouldn't make by the prospect of her posting the pics onto her site. So just like selling them, she's responsible for putting the fakes out into the world.
**I put waaaay too much thought into this... but I can't sleep so it's either TPF or a snack, and this is my apetite control. **

A diet pop sans caffeine can suppress hunger without keeping me up
Yeah I agree! Designers come out with funky/edgy designs all the time...her reason doesn't really justify her cause.
In a way they MAY be better than fakes, because they don't actually pretend to be the real bag (unless someone thinks that Dior/Chanel/Gucci made these knitted bags), and they don't force labourers to work under unacceptable conditions (no child labour either, I hope). But still these are copyright infringements (especially if she sells them).
Nonetheless, I really admire the talent!!!
I like these a lot, and i definitely think they are not on par with 'fakes' as they are not trying to pull themselves off as authentic Chanel. Also, they are handmade, not made in a sweatshop and funding terrorism and blahlblahblahhh so there's really nothing 'bad' about. I think they're super cute!
