I will be revisiting this on a weekly basis as a kind reminder to myself. Thanks for so concisely and gracefully writing what I thought about the Salazar/Dorsey drama. But-more than that- thanks for the reminder that the best thing to put out (in hopes that it WILL be copied) is kindness.

Gosh, I love your writing and your POV ❤️ Perspective is everything. Even if we are creating or writing about similar ideas, no one else will share the same lived experiences or voice that you have and the right people will resonate with your pov.

This was such a good piece. I didn't know about the Salazar/Dorsey drama until now and it's super fascinating to me that great lengths and time was spent on the post that Salazar wrote with screen shots to all the conversations. I bought the Dorsey bracelet when it came out because I have the necklace that looks so similar. Personally, it seems to me like they pieced inspiration for the design from their own line already and numerous others (Miu Miu like you mention). I also love how you mention that we need to keep pursuing our creativity with kindness and understand that ideas just aren't original anymore but that doesn't mean we can't put our own twist on them.
