It is unfortunate. Business, just like life in the wild, is survival of the fittest. But it's not as easy as launching a good product in the market and having high hopes and good intentions. Once a company moves from being a small outfit to a big business it has to contend with it's fair share of espionage, idea theft, vicious rumor mills, and the stock market. And I would have to say the fashion industry is one of the most finicky of all businesses.
You can be up on top of the world one day, where everything you stamp your name on is gold. Then in the blink of an eye the thirteen year olds of the world consider you old news and within a year nobody will buy anything with your name on it.
