Diane von Furstenberg Sues Forever 21 Over Copyright

By: Liza Casabona

Diane von Furstenberg Studio filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Forever 21 Retail Inc. late last week in Manhattan federal court. According to legal documents obtained Tuesday, the company alleged Forever 21 has sold dresses that infringe on its Cerisier and Aubrey designs.

As you can see by these two pictures the dresses are identical. I think that Diane von Furstenberg is 100% right for being concerned. If you could buy a dress that looked exactly the same as a designers why would you want to pay more money for it? I don't understand why Forever 21 didn't think to make these dresses somewhat different. I feel that Forever 21 just lost a lot of money for something that could have been easily avoided. I think that Diane von Furstenberg will win this lawsuit and hopefully Forever 21 learns their lesson.
