In the lawsuit, which was filed in a California federal court Tuesday, the designers allege Shein produced and sold exact copies of their designs. They claim Shein uses “secretive algorithms” to determine fashion trends — algorithms they allege “could not work” without generating exact copies of artists’ work. The designers say Shein has grown rich from “committing individual infringements over and over again.
” The complaint alleges that Shein’s corporate structure reveals that the company is a decentralized group of entities, so the company can “avoid liability” and “avoid disclosing basic information.” A Shein spokesperson said in a statement: “SHEIN takes all claims of infringement seriously, and we take swift action when complaints are raised by valid IP rights holders. We will vigorously defend ourselves against this lawsuit and any claims that are without merit.
