When you search ‘airplane mode sweatshirt’ on Google, the first search that comes up is a little-known loungewear brand called @tlroom. The brand retails from @nordstromnyc, and is known for its cool girl vibe, cozy sweats, and chill silhouettes. And, now @monisajaising and @shwetabachchan’s new brand – @mxsworld – has the exact same sweatshirt with the exact same slogan. So, who do we blame for this mess?”
