Fashion Wars

Oh dear, yet another Fashion court case looming!

The word in the press at the moment is that the well known biker boys 'Hells Angels' are suing British Fashion House Alexander McQueen. They are accusing McQueen of misusing their trademark Wings Death Head logo. The items in question are the 'Hells Four Finger Knuckle Duster', 'Hells Knuckle Duster Clutch' and a scarf and dress both called 'Hells Angels' (quite coincidental huh?)

So why are the Hells Angels so peeved? Well, not only have they had their trademark for years but on top of that it takes an individual years to work up to the stage where they are awarded the "patch" (a fabric badge they sew on to their jacket).

Watch this space to see what happens!!!


In other news it seems that Alexander McQueen has bumped heads with another fellow designer but this time they are the ones being copied! Harry Potter Costume Designer Jany Timime has been accused of almost replicating Alexander McQueen's iconic AW08 Peacock Dress. The dress was used in the new Harry Potter film as a wedding dress for one of the Characters. Whilst McQueen HQ have refused to comment, Jany told the press that the birds were not Peacocks but in fact Phoenix but many have said that there are not many differences between the two designs. What do you think?
