DVF sues Target

Here's the article. http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN2427549920080124?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews

It's kind of crap. I get if she's suing over a specific design (which she partially is) but to say this bit? A tiny bit insane: "Defendants' infringing dresses are 'wrap' dresses made of materials designed to look like silk jersey, a style consumers and the general public have come to associate with DVF," the complaint said.

It's like saying Levi's has a copyright on jeans because they were the first to do it. She's a little lawsuit happy, for my taste.

agreed. WTF? Sue over the pattern, okay I can understand that a little. But a wrap dress? Come on!

Give me a break. This smells like a PR/marketing stunt.

Unless you have to do a double-take, it's frivilous.

Diane von Furstenberg makes me mad.  It makes me not even want to buy her stuff.  I don't own anything from her and things like this make me not want to.

Her patterns are dreamy, I have one dress and yes it is different from the other wraps I have but maybe not $350 worth of different.

I think if she didn't invent it someone would have! No one sues over other inventions in fashion... I'm sure "someone" invented pleats but you dont see any lawsuits there...
