Edgardo Osorio built a fashion empire and is quick to defend it. Now hes fighting a high ranking government official whos had some shoe trouble of her own.
Osorio, the co-founder and creative director of fashion label Aquazzura, calls the sandal one of his most iconic creations. Coveted by celebrities and fashion bloggers alike, these $785 suede numbers became a true It shoe since gaining traction in 2015. They helped catapult the designer and his label to international prominence. So when he discovered that the clothing brand run by the daughter of now-President Donald Trump was making a similar item for only $65, he called in the lawyers.

While I can't imagine anyone trying to walk in either, this is not merely derivative. It's theft.

(60,010 posts)Either she is like her Dad and merely lends her name to the crap that is selling, thus not actually designing the shoes
(she once stated that was her only contribution, her name) thus proving she is as dumb and lazy as the rest of the family
or
She is eyeball deep in ripping off other designers, true to the family grifting genes.

(12,448 posts)but so is theft. Ivanka's sandals are clearly cheap copies. I hope she loses this one.

(13,783 posts)Not politically relevant, but I find it interesting that the $785 version really does look classier. Not $700 classier. But interesting.
