Kanye WeST’S LabeL yeeZy in LegaL TroubLe
LOS ANGELES: Rapper Kanye West’s Yeezy clothing company has been sued for allegedly using another brand’s camouflage print. Jordan Outdoor Enterprises filed a lawsuit against the rapper-turned-designer’s label on Thursday, claiming that Yeezy’s camouflage print is an unauthorised copy of their Realtree collection, reports people.com
The alleged copycat pattern was used as a part of West’s Season 5 line for hoodies, bomber jackets, shirts, cargo pants and thigh-high boots. NBA players LeBron James’ brand Unknwn is also named in the lawsuit for selling the Yeezy clothes. West’s wife and muse Kim Kardashian was photographed wearing a version of the print in January.
In court documents, Jordan said that a representative from Yeezy reached out to Jordan in March 2016 with inquiries about their camouflage design.
