Shein Faces Backlash Over AI Designer Theft | TSR Investigates

Shein is facing new allegations from Black designers who say the fast fashion giant used AI to copy their designs, images, and likeness without consent. Black designers have accused Shein of copying original garments, scraping social media images, and using AI to recreate — and even alter — their work for mass production. In some cases, creators say their photos were transformed into marketing videos without permission. #TSRInvestigates host Justin Carter speaks with affected designers, fashion influencers, and a copyright attorney to break down how these practices allegedly work, why fast fashion companies continue to face lawsuits, and what legal protections designers actually have when their work goes viral online. As Shein’s valuation climbs into the billions, critics argue the cost is being passed onto small creators, artists, and communities who lack the resources to fight back. This episode explores the power imbalance, the role of AI, and what accountability could look like moving forward.
