Taylor Swift and her team perform temporarily after being accused of copying the emblem of a black-owned black apple into the album’s “folklore” products.
Amira Rasool, founder of the online store The Folklore, accused the pop star last week of selling products that scammed her company, which sells designer clothing, accessories and other products in Africa and the diaspora.
Rasool shared photos on Twitter and Instagram appearing cardigans and hoodies with the words “The Folk Album” on sale on Swift’s website.
“Based on the similarities in the design, I think the product designer ripped the logo from my company,” he wrote on July 24. I’m probably not the best at letting this bray robbery get away.
Since Tuesday, Swift no longer sells clothes with the words “The Folklore Album”, swapping them for new models who read “”Folklore Album”, InStyle reported.
Rasool called the design replenishment a “first step” and said she and Swift’s group station were discussing the situation.
“I congratulate Taylor’s team for detecting the wear and tear caused through the products to my company’s pass: TheFolklore,” he wrote Tuesday. “I recognize that she has been a great advocate for women who protect their artistic rights, so it is advisable to see your team on the similar page.”
CNN contacted rasool and Swift’s publicist for comment, but received a response.
On Thursday, Swift announced that she was donating to Rasool’s company.
“Amira, I appreciate the paintings you make and am happy to make contributions for your apple and the Black in Fashion Council (announced 8/3) with a donation,” Rasool’s tweet wrote in reaction. . Rasool later publicly thanked Swift for her reaction.
Swift decides decisively to shake him up and correctly write the trajectory contrasts with the way Lady A, formerly known as Lady Antebellum, dealt with a similar situation.
The trio of counterpups announced last month that they will abandon “Antebellum” from their call to its agreement with slavery and will instead go through “Lady A”. But it turns out that blues singer Anita White has been performing under the so-called “Lady A” for decades.
Initially, it seemed that the parties would be able to fix things. But things went wrong and the crowd filed a complaint in the Nashville District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The lawsuit alleges that the crowd received a hallmark on the so-called “Lady A” in 2011, after several years of interchangeable use with “Lady Antebellum” for its products and services.
