Actually aren't fashion designs NOT currently protected under copyright?
The Nike Swoosh is copyrighted- fashion can be within the Act.
Only patterns or designs printed on a piece of clothing are protected by copyright, not the shoe or clothing itself. I doubt a swoosh is enough of a pattern. It's trademarked, but not likely copyrightable.
forget copyright or tm--shoe designs can be protectable trade dress. if vans wants to sue, that's what it'll be for...
