Designer VS Highstreet

VS

This week has seen the ultimate designer versus high-street battle as Christian Louboutin took highstreet chain Zara to court in a bid to stop them from selling shoes with Louboutin’s signature red soles. Unfortunately, Louboutin lost their case when the judge decided that there was no obvious risk of customers confusing the two styles, even though they had initially supported the designer’s case.

Christian Louboutin has refused to comment on the court case, which started when the Spanish fashion giant produced a pair of open-toe-shoes with a red sole, similar to Louboutin’s Yo Yo style. Louboutin decided to open the court case against Zara for ‘counterfeiting and unfair competition.’
