Steve Madden Screwed!
Steve Madden’s knock-offs are getting quite popular with those that like to wear fashionable items but cannot really afford the high-priced originals. Steve Madden is a favorite among those who love the “look for less”. However, the designer isn’t so well-loved by those whose ideas were copied from.
Balenciaga is suing the designer for copying their lego-heeled shoe collection, which was introduced to the market in 2007.
The suit was filed last Tuesday in New York. On the paper submitted to the courts, it says: “Defendant Steve Madden’s reputation for producing knock-offs of full price luxury designs further corroborates Defendant’s deliberate pattern of willful infringement and unfair competition.”
Early this year, Alexander McQueen also sued the designer for the same offense.
