Examining the intersection of social media and fashion, Minh-Ha T. Pham highlights how users actively call out design theft, particularly in the case of Balenciaga's alleged copying of the Thai "rainbow bag." The book traces fashion antipiracy efforts from the 1930s, revealing how social media has taken on the policing role traditionally held by the industry. However, Pham argues that these efforts often perpetuate social and market inequalities, reinforcing colonial norms and complicating the discourse around ethical fashion and intellectual property in a global context.
