    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: Madden and his business is totally sketch. He has had problems with the law before (I think it was tax evasion).

    @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?

    The last time Prince looked really good was about 89-90 the Graffiti Bridge days. Since then not so much.
