Alexander McQueen is suing Steve Madden for allegedly copying his Faithful bootie! Filed October 1 in Manhattan District Court, the suit alleges Steve Madden's Seryna bootie is a "studied imitation" of McQueen's Faithful design, which was inspired by a motorcycle jacket. McQueen's lawyers sent a cease and desist letter to Steve Madden in September, but they refuse to stop making and selling the shoe.
Madden gets away with knocking off high-fashion designers all the time. Blogs like Nitro:licious rejoiced when word came of Madden's Seryna bootie, since they'd been "eyeing" McQueen's design "forever." Maybe this is one reason McQueen's spring 2010 shoes were so elaborate. Replicating those for the masses won't be easy.
What do you think? Should these types of situations continue so the masses are able to obtain such fashion? Can they even be stopped?
