Does mental property exist in the sweetness community?

Does mental property exist in the sweetness community?
In 2015, the L.A. based make-up artist and photographer Vlada Haggerty posted a picture to her Instagram that even those unfamiliar with the Instagram beauty community have likely come across in some capability by now: a pair of molten gold lips dripping color, mouth open and teeth barely exposed. It might go on to turn into one among the artist’s signatures and some of the copied editorial make-up images. Everyone from Kylie Jenner’s beauty label to LVHM’s Make Up For Ever and the style brand Guess appear to have knocked it off in numerous iterations, starting from packaging to t-shirts. Haggerty has been each outspoken about these alleged infringements and fought back with lawsuits. Haggerty‘s situation isn’t unique. On the subject of the copycat...

From digital artists to photographers, body sculpturists and hair stylists to makeup and nail artists, in our Highlight series we profile the creatives tearing up the rule book of their respective industries. “It’s a tragedy that our selves should be defined by our bodies, limited by our abilities, and that our bodies will ultimately kill us,” says LA-based artist Sarah Sitkin. Working with quite a lot of different materials including silicone clay, resin and latex, Sitkin’s sculptures offer visceral depictions of the human figure, often distorted into grotesque and nightmare-ish forms.
