Talk about a heel height of a cat fight!
News broke out on Friday that coveted shoe designer Christian Louboutin is suing rival YSL (Gucci Group) for $1 million! Louboutin trademarked his red soles in 2008, bringing fashion mavens all over the world to their feet-literally! Louboutin's have exploded not only in the Hollywood scene as the "it" shoe, but have managed to also consume all of our thought bubbles and "dare to dream" fantasies! Girls kick up their legs in photos or you can quietly see the peek-a-boo red and think "ahhh loubs...". The red soles have always been associated with Christian Louboutin-and everyone knows it-until now! You may be mistaking those Louboutin's for YSL's.
YSL designed shoes that come in various colors; Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Purple ALL with the matching soles as the same color as the shoe! So, the question is...although CL has his red soles trademarked, is YSL in the wrong for making the same bold hued soles??
Here are my thoughts on the whole situation...
As a MASSIVE Louboutin fan (larger than YSL), I must say that although I would always stay loyal to my beloved CL and his shoes, this particular situation is putting me on tilt. I think I may have to take a step down here with this one. Not EVERY YSL shoe is now going to have a red sole, just certain designs, such as the Tribtoo, and each different color is going to have that sole match the shoe. I understand that its a sticky situation when you feel like someone is copying your genius and creative ideas, but I don't feel this will effect the empire that Louboutin has created for himself! The people who love Loubs, like myself, will continue to purchase them and the people who lean towards the YSL's will continue to purchase those! Unfortunately, these things happen to occur in the fashion industry. I just hope this is settled quickly and I am curious as to what the outcome will be. I guess the case is in the hands of the shoe goddesses above!
