Alan King: The Gen Z Mastermind Behind AKINGS https://brevmag.com/alan-king-the-gen-z-mastermind-behind-akings/ https://brevmag.com/alan-king-the-gen-z-mastermind-behind-akings/#respond Wed, 19 Jul 2023 21:19:30 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=26274 Chinese American entrepreneur and fashion designer, Alan King has been taking the apparel world by storm with the success of his clothing brand AKINGS. With a resume spanning over 8 years, Alan has become a renowned individual in the field of garment manufacturing & distribution. So much so, that he would even earn a seat on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list alongside his co-founder, Bryan Leon.

Alan began his journey by creating clothes for himself because he was dissatisfied with wearing old hand-me-down clothing. Drawing inspiration from New York City culture and streetwear, Alan decided to infuse his designs with elements from urban style and a focus on delivering luxury elements to his works. His burning desire to pursue fashion ultimately led to Alan making the decision to drop out of college and officially launch his brand, AKINGS, in 2015. This move would prove to be vital for the young creative as he pushed to establish the platform he has today by showcasing his vision for the fashion industry.

King’s unique designs and innovative cuts of denim are ultimately what put the 26-year-old on the map. Inspired by New York City life, each pair of denim crafted by the AKINGS brand is designed to be reliable and withstand the test of time, accompanying individuals on their daily journeys. A significant innovation in the brand’s denim collections was the introduction of the J-shape cut. King envisioned creating jeans that would stack from the knee down. By curving both legs inward, resembling two Js, he achieved a unique silhouette where the jeans naturally stack at the legs. This innovation added a distinct aesthetic to the denim offerings.

As AKINGS experiences continued growth and success, the brand is actively seeking collaborations and partnerships with emerging creatives who share their core values. By aligning with like-minded individuals and organizations, AKINGS aims to foster mutual support and uphold the principles that have contributed to its current standing. King’s clothing has been worn by popular figures in entertainment such as Lil Baby, Kyle Kuzma, Steve Aoki, Tyga, Lil Nas X, and Jay Critch amongst many others.

Shein Hit With Massive Lawsuit For Stealing Ideas https://brevmag.com/shein-hit-with-massive-lawsuit-for-stealing-ideas/ https://brevmag.com/shein-hit-with-massive-lawsuit-for-stealing-ideas/#respond Wed, 19 Jul 2023 16:55:18 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=26306 Shein, a fast fashion retailer based in China, is reportedly facing a lawsuit that alleges its aggressive copyright infringement practices amount to racketeering. The lawsuit, filed recently, claims that Shein’s actions violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), a law primarily designed to prosecute organized crime.

Shein’s alleged widespread and systematic infringement of copyrighted materials, such as designs and patterns owned by other individuals or companies. By invoking RICO, the plaintiffs are suggesting that Shein’s alleged actions resemble a criminal enterprise rather than mere copyright infringement.

According to the lawsuit, Shein allegedly employs a complex corporate structure to facilitate its large-scale production of up to 6,000 new items per day. The plaintiffs argue that this intricate setup allows Shein to engage in a coordinated and illegal operation that involves ripping off designers. They propose that RICO statutes are the most suitable legal framework to combat such activities. It’s important to note that the lawsuit and its claims have not been proven in court, and Shein will have the opportunity to present its defense against the allegations. The case will unfold through the legal process, determining the merits of the claims and the potential impact on Shein’s practices and reputation.
