Default Marc Jacobs Sued and Lost!


Please Marc, say it isn't so. . .

In the news: Marc Jacobs plagiarized a scarf made by Gosta Olofsson, an entrepreneurial petrol station owner who sold memorabilia until his death in 1982, who made the scarf in the 50's. His son, Göran Olofsson, a 55-year-old from Arvika in western Sweden has received compensation from the Marc Jacobs fashion house for copying the design.

Look above guys. It's identical! It's quite disappointing when we see lower labels copying the designs of higher labels, but when it's a well-respected fashion house, such as Marc Jacobs, this is quite disappointing news.

umm, shop for MJ @ eluxury

it's hard to believe that a high end designer would do that...

WOW! From Marc Jacobs I'm truly shocked, I love love love Marc Jacobs all around. I could picture Marc Jacobs as a contestant on a celebrity project runway to crown the best of the best, and you just know Tim Gunn would go nuts with this! That would be good tv!

Maybe he was just thinking that it would be a cool idea to bring something like that back into fashion again??
Also, I guess he thought since he was Marc freaking Jacobs no one would say anything. Don't know...
It is unfortunate but I still have mad love for his bags!!
