Karl Lagerfeld
New Balance is suing Karl Lagerfeld.
Karl Lagerfeld, the long time creative director of Chanel, is being sued by New Balance. A lawsuit, obtained by entertainment site TMZ, details the Boston-based brand’s complaint, describing the shoe that is says is causing “confusion” for its customers. New Balance claims the K motif on the $370 sneakers sold under Lagerfeld’s eponymous label is too similar to the N logo it’s been using since the ’70s.
Lagerfeld adds another string to his bow
What do Karl Lagerfeld and dishwashers have in common? Absolutely nothing, except that Lagerfeld is collaborating with plastic shoe purveyor Melissa on a capsule collection of jellies for Fall ’13 that will be – you’ve guessed it – dishwasher safe.
