Jimmy Choo attack Oasis and Jane Shilton for 'copying'
Tamara Mellon seems to be spending a lot of time caught up in legal battles at the moment. After fighting her ex-husband in court over supposed email hacking, her company, Jimmy Choo, has now successfully managed to prevent Oasis from copying pieces. Action was taken after it was discovered that both Oasis and Jane Shilton had copied two recent footwear designs - flat Grecian-esque sandals and silver leather and cork wedges. The link was noticed after a customer wrote in to complain.
This isn't the first time Jimmy Choo have taken such measures, having previously acted against both New Look and Marks and Spencer. The head of legal affairs at Jimmy Choo, Hannah Merritt, said: "We've taken an aggressive approach because unless you hit their pockets they won't take a blind bit of notice." [via Catwalk Queen]
