Versace 1, Cheap Knock Offs 0
It may have taken over 4 years, but luxury Italian fashion brand
Versace has officially won it’s case to stop the distribution of knock off
items on Ebay. “Counterfeit goods not only bring a dilution of the brand, but
are connected to organized crime, child labor and harmful working conditions,”
said Versace chief executive officer Gian Giacomo Ferraris. “We are very
pleased with the ruling. Versace is a brand that is well known around the
world, and the violation of its intellectual property rights is a problem that
the company has always been actively fighting. One cannot take pride in being
counterfeited.” People who think they may have been ripped off are urged to use
the site Certilogo to check the authenticity of their products.
Beyoncé, Untouchable?
Reportedly, when Beyoncé first saw the images of her, shot for
H&M’s 2013 summer campaign, she was not happy! She received photos of
herself that were very airbrushed and didn’t truly represent her. Like the true
diva that she is, Bey demanded that the photos she got not be used and instead,
the untouched pictures be presented to the world. While no official word has
been given by Mrs. Carter’s camp, H&M has allegedly confirmed that the
photos are indeed 100% Beyoncé.
Abercrombie Ain’t For Everybody
Remember a few weeks back when Abercrombie & Fitch’s CEO Mike
Jeffries’ comments from a 2006 interview went viral? He said that A&F “[goes] after the attractive all-American kid with a great
attitude and a lot of friends,” continuing, “A lot of people don’t belong [in
our clothes], and they can’t belong.” Wow. What a douche. Sounds like someone
is stuck in high school! Good thing is, they got hit hard. Abercrombie reported
a first quarter loss of $7.2 million, which means it’s stock sank by more than
10%! And now, a former employee is saying that she had to squeeze into the
second largest size they had, which was a size 8 (no L or XL available in
shirts for girls, btw), and had to diet to stay that way! If not, she would be
forced to wear the guys clothing! Crazy, right!? This story is starting to make
headlines everywhere! Let’s see how A&F handles this one!
