STEVE MADDEN LTD
Filed on October 1st in Manhattan’s District Court, a lawsuit against Steve Madden Ltd claims that Madden's ‘Seryna’ bootie is a "studied imitation" of designer Alexander McQueen's ‘Faithful’ design. Inspired by a motorcycle jacket, the black leather, open-toe stiletto ankle boot debuted in January; and has been seen and photographed on the feet of Lindsay Lohan, Mary-Kate Olsen and Rihanna. In a statement to the press, McQueen's lawyer says, "In fact, the only design element of the ‘Faithful Bootie’ that Madden did not deliberately copy is the zipper pull that contains the ‘Alexander McQueen’ trademark.”
