about freakin time.

FINALLY!

After probably about a thousand direct rip offs of other people's designs, scam artist Steve Madden is getting sued for his latest copy.

These two shoes may look the exact same, but one is an original design made with quality materials and one is a terrible impostor.

The one on the left is Alexander McQueen's Faithful bootie, which he designed to inspire the look of a motorcycle jacket. The one on the right is Steve Madden's copy that he refuses to stop selling, even after threatened with a lawsuit.

McQueen has had enough, and filed suit on October 1 against the copy of his design, according to WWD. I really hope he wins. I get personally offended when I see these shoes in the windows or on the shelves of my store.

Um hi, use your brain and be a designer...which means actually designing and not stealing other people's hard work. K, thanks.
