Illicit Crime

Illicit Crime will never go away. Especially on the scale that it’s at today, this is a problem that will haunt not just one single country but the world and more and more each day. Will we as the people of the world ever be able to put trust into our world leaders, or will we always have a thought of doubt and fear in our minds? To say that we will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel would be naïve and foolish, we have to keep in mind that every person has their own agenda. We know this will be a pattern that the world follows for as long as the entertainment industry, fashion industry, technology, drug industry and almost any other one out there that keep producing merchandise in demand. People are now stuck in a position that if they want to survive and keep an income for their families they must break the law. Most likely, even if they do decide one day they want to find another way to make an income they would probably have a very hard time getting away from who they work with.

Everyone has seen counterfeit hand bags and wallets being sold at the local swap-meet, out of the back of vans or just on the street. The fact that a person can walk around with a counterfeit designer bag gets on my nerves, the only reason is because my career is in the fashion industry. Designers shouldn’t have to worry about getting ideas and inspirations stolen from them by some cheap warehouse product. One day I want to be able to design and sell my own apparel but I want it to be mine. Fashion pieces are made for expression of individuality and how can this be when knock offs are being made by the thousands a day.
