I haven't paid any attention to copyright as it has been applied to

"fashions" or clothing, but a brief search gives thousands of hits of

"counterfeit" purses and shoes coming out of China, which are then

confiscated when they are found at various countries' port of entry.  It

would seem that somehow those fashions are copyrighted by the designer.
