Repost: Gucci Files Lawsuit Against Forever 21 for Ripping off Its Stripes & Motifs

Gucci has reportedly filed multiple cease-and-desist letters to Forever 21 following apparent copyright infringement on a number of the fast fashion retailer’s items.
According to Fashionista, Gucci sent the first of these letters as early as December 2016, which demanded that Forever 21 pull all items featuring “any and all use of” blue-red-blue stripes. A second followed in January and a third in February, both of which expanded the complaint to not just the blue-red-blue stripes but green-red-green stripes as well. Gucci stated that the stripes are “confusingly similar” to those of its own.
You can see the items in question — a striped choker and a number of bomber jackets — below, courtesy of the case documents.
Far from rolling over however, Fashionista also reports that Forever 21 is now seeking legal protection against the threat. The fast fashion retailer filed a legal complaint on Monday.
“Forever 21 is not infringing any Gucci trademark,” states the case document. “Gucci’s trademark registrations relevant to this dispute should be canceled. Gucci’s pending applications should not proceed to registration. This matter is ripe for a declaratory judgment.”
The irony in all of this is that Gucci has itself been accused of plagiarism in the last few weeks — first of copying designs from legendary Harlem courtier Dapper Dan, and then by two other separate designers.
Forever 21 is also no stranger to disputes over plagiarism. In the last year alone it has been accused of ripping off Kanye West, Thrasher and Emily Oberg. Stay tuned for more information on this one.

Done and Over for Now
One celebrity who has been victimized by the system is now realizing that a comeback might be a bit more difficult than what he had expected. During the heydays of Statuesque Actor (SA) screams seemed endless and projects came one after the other. In fact, he was among the top priorities of his network until more handsome and talented actors entered the picture. As years passed, SA developed an attitude, which could not accommodate the reality that he has been ousted at the top.
The appearance of SA started to lessen and reasons for his hiatus ranged from managing business interests to attending to personal relationships. The truth was he was no longer the favorite of a Powerful Insider (PI). So, after lingering with no roles in sight, SA went overseas thanks to a sponsor. However, things did not turn out well, and his sponsor left him. SA had to make controversial choices, or else he would starve.
With the help of an Elderly Celebrity (EC), SA allegedly had encounters with older women and gay men for him to earn enough to make sure he lived in style. EC had clients for SA, and things seemed okay. SA had a place to stay under the wing of EC.
Then, one day, PI offered SA a supporting role in a project. Negotiations failed, as SA felt the talent fee was too small. However, SA surprisingly came home and decided to work on a project with Another Network (AN). SA wanted to test the waters and to see if he could make a comeback. Of course, his choice of doing a project with AN offended PI, and instead of getting SA back, he was ignored. With no clear sign that he could return to the industry, SA decided to leave for overseas once again.
