dirtbag Ivanka Trump faces courtroom showdown over $785 sandals

Edgardo Osorio built a fashion empire and is quick to defend it. Now he’s fighting a “high ranking government official” who’s 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.

Jimmy Page would have had to of worn them at a show. Obama wearing them when signing the ACA. A shoe from Pelosi after it was removed from Trumps ass.

$785?

Shoe from pelvis after removed from Trump's ass. HEY! Maybe that's why Melania always wears stilettos!

Hers is obviously a cheaper knockoff.

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

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.

An attorney for first lady Melania Trump argued in a lawsuit filed Monday that an article falsely alleging that she once worked for an escort service hurt her chance to establish “multimillion dollar business relationships” during the years in which she would be “one of the most photographed women in the world.”

If it had worked, you know Sugar Daddy would be grabbing the dough.
He pimps out his whole family, that's for sure.

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