Equitable fashion design
Equitable fashion design provides a collaborative solution to the issue. It involves borrowing and ensuring respectful use of TCE (traditional cultural expressions). Firstly they require informed consent from the community to use their designs, Secondly they have to correctly compensate the community for their designs and techniques.
This solution was successfully used in 2016 by Brazilian designer Oksare Metsavaht to create his spring collection which was inspired by the designs of the Ashaninka tribe. In return the tribe recieves royalties and publicity for their fight against illegal logging of their forests Metsavaht’s respectful use of the heritage did not only empower and assist the tribe, but also worked in Metsavaht's favour for the ethical approach to using traditional cultural expressions which benefitted all stakeholders, and also allowed for the designer to demonstrate dedication towards a worthwhile cause, which in turn engenders goodwill for the designer.  
Government Support
Maintaining ownership and control over TCE's is an ongoing issue for communities. It is often misperceived as belonging to the public domain. Many communities struggle to seek respiration as designs belonged to the public.
The mix people struggled to seek respiration after designer Isabel Marant released clothing which was a direct copy of the 600 year old traditional 'hupil' clothing worn by 'the mixe people'. It was only after significant social media outcry, protests at Marant's new york store and a press conference by the mixe people that Marant admitted to 'derived inspiration' from their designs. Since that incident the Mexican government introduced cultural heritage declaration  claiming the Mixe People’s traditional designs, embroidery and language as intangible cultural heritage in accordance with the UNESCO guidelines. This is valuable in its symbolic significance as it not only confirms that the designs are unique to, and originate in, the Mixe culture but also affirms the Mixe culture’s own identity. Had the Declaration existed prior to the incident, awareness of the cultural significance of this heritage might have deterred Marant from using the designs. At the very least the Mixe People could have pointed to the Declaration to support the claims of their designs being in the public domain. Governments need to proactively consider such declarations to preserve and publicize the relevance of TCE.
