Zara is coming under fire for its latest foray into shameless copying. Indie artist Tuesday Bassen, whose clients have included Playboy, The New Yorker, United Nations, Nike and Adidas, among others, took to her Twitter account on Tuesday to call out the Spanish fast-fashion giant and shed light on its unauthorized use of her copyright-protected work, including an array of original pins that Zara has allegedly copied and affixed to a number of styles of garments.

Bassen, who has been making illustrated products for several years, and as of 2014, began making and selling accessories, including enamel pins and patches, spoke exclusively with The Fashion Law.
