Stylist Beware!!!!! Red bottoms may be popping up on cheap shoes!!!!!

[FAB Professionals]

Red bottoms may not be a sign of your shoe status anymore because Christian Louboutin lost exclusivity to put the signature red soles on the bottom of their shoes. A judge ruled that other companies would be able to use the red color on the bottom of their shoes as well.

“Because in the fashion industry color serves ornamental and aesthetic functions vital to robust competition,” Judge Marrero ruled, “the court finds that Louboutin is unlikely to be able to prove that its red outsole brand is entitled to trademark protection, even if it has gained enough protection in the market to have secondary meaning.”

 

So beware of the imposters!!!!!
