Comments on: Christian Louboutin sues Oh, Deer! and trademarks his red soles http://www.thefashionpolice.net/2007/09/christian-loubo.html Fashion Police Blog: The World's Worst Fashion Trends!

If he owns that red sole it means his business will grow meaning that there's people out there who will have jobs designing/making/selling his brand. It annoys me that Yves Saint Laurent wants to turn it into a disposable trend. Its like is YSL such a boring brand that they can't come up with something to try and top Louboutin? Is it just easier to take what Louboutin is know for, use it for one season, then never use it again? I will agree that Mr. Louboutin is crazy if he thinks he can stop every imposter, though. Louis Vuitton products are serialized, but that doesn't stop people from carrying imitations with metal hardware that only cost them $200 (I see like 5 of those a day at my job). Yes he can and should fight companies like YSL and "Oh, Deer!" (what a stupid name for a brand), but he won't ever stop all of them. Instead, he should focus on the design of his shoes, maybe create more "minor" trademarks that are more difficuly to copy than a red sole, setting his shoes further apart from imitatora. But no Mr. Louboutin, everyone loves your shoes, everyone can afford them, and that creates a demand for fakes.

He needs to get over it and just realize that the retail world is a cruel one and that other companies are going to be "borrowing" his idea.
