Vogue Sues a Canadian Fashion Show?
Dozens of downtown businesses were set to show off their new fashions at Victoria Fashion's Night Out on Thursday.
But when Vogue magazine heard the event's name, lawyers sent a letter threatening a lawsuit if the name wasn't changed immediately.
Last year, Vogue organized Fashion's Night Out in New York City. The event is planned again for this year, and will be held in cities throughout the world "from Brooklyn to Brazil."
"Our client did not consent to use of its Fashion's Night Out trademark by your organization or its members and is extremely concerned by this unauthorized use of its intellectual property," said a letter from lawyer Leigh Walters, from Sim Lowman Ashton and McKay.
Organizers, who received the letter a day before the event, are now trying to change the name to Victoria's Fashion Night, said lawyer David Mulroney.
I guess Anna Wintour does control the world, and free speech too!
