    Herrera, as a fashion design-obsessed person without the attention span or patience to learn how to sew, THANK YOU.

    Although, I do think draping is fun.

    If Liz Claiborne is only gonna be sold at JC Penney, that means every Belk I've ever been in is gonna need something to fill half a women's department.

    FINALLY someone goes after Madden. I thought Jimmy Choo was going to be the first to sue.
    I think goods being "inspired" by the designer originals is OK, but when they look the same, someone needs to get dragged to court.
    Maybe that's how Madden avoided suits before? Usually the shoes aren't total knockoffs.

    @greengrey: What I'm wondering is how all of those Birkenstock Boston knock-offs at Wal-Mart are legal. If that isn't, then those certainly aren't. Also, Payless Uggs? I understand why McQueen is pissed, I would be too, but this has been going on forever, how can they legislate it?

    @greengrey: How does ABS deal with those copies of the Oscar dresses? Is it because they're just slightly different enough?

    Unrelated to legalities? I admit I'm a frump but I think the entire concept of open-toed, zippered, spike heel booties are horrifyingly ugly and I can't believe that two different companies are making them.

    @greengrey: I think that copyrights work differently for fabrics and things like shoes than they do for pictures.

    However, I don't think your example would be illegal. I could paint Starry Night, call it something else, and sell it as my own work as long as Van Gogh's estate doesn't send me a cease and desist letter.

    @Theomeny: Not ok at all! Clothing/shoes can be heavily protected by route of design patents and trade dress. Enforcing protected designs against knockoffs is a huge IP issue that generates a great deal of litigation. When you see knockoffs in payless, etc., it's usually just because the manufacturer hasn't gone after them... YET.

    @Oceanic: Payless is owned by NineWest, which is where all the 'knockoffs' come from. The chain is actually Payless - Parade of Shoes - Westies - Nine West, IIRC.

    Maybe I was half remembering something I saw when the ABS was explaining why they could get such convincing knock-offs?

    In reply to Lady Gaga Loves Human Hair; Marc Jacobs Doesn't Mind The Knock-Offs
    Coach has no chance. U.S. copyright law does not protect useful articles, and copyright protection has been denied to fashion designs because clothing garments have traditionally been viewed as useful articles—basic items of necessity having utilitarian value—rather than as artistic creations. Unless they are infringing on the trademark by causing consumer confusion (i.e. putting "coach" or the like on the purses), the design itself is not protectable and there is no lawsuit.

    At least, that's what my memory of IP law in law school tells me...

    You know, I really think someone should hook up Gaga and Chris March.

    I have the biggest fucking girl-crush on Lara Stone, it's ridiculous.

    My patience is wearing thin with LL. It bugs me that her irrelevance continues to be celebrated. I don't have anything against the girl, but she doesn't do anything of any importance. It's bizarre to me that she continues to get endorsement deals, etc.

    I also hate the glamorization of really sad, tortured people. It's not glamorous, morons, it's tragic.

    My heart stopped when I read about Andre getting into gardening. I couldn't imagine him pulling weeds or rooting around in the dirt!

    I was ever so relieved when I read on to find out what his version of "gardening" is all about. Andre, you never fail to disappoint me when it comes to the absurd!

    Do people like Andre Leon Talley and Karl Lagerfeld actually work? I'm sort of under the impression that they just swan around like cartoon characters and say insane things. I have no idea what planet they come from, but I want to go to there. Only they could figure out how to garden without touching dirt or plants.

    @Yahtzii: I have a feeling it involves bubbles. Big plastic bubbles they stay inside while they order people around in the garden. And they wear caftans in their bubbles, with Swarovski crystal embellished fingerless gardening gloves.
