Parisian jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels is suing Heidi Klum. Van Cleef claims Klum has ripped off their trademark Alhambra (clover shape) design. The New York Post reported that the suit claims Klum and her jewelry manufacturer "appropriated this design and incorporated it into their jewelry line, attempting to appropriate the good will built by Van Cleef & Arpels to create their own 'symbol.' " Van Cleef & Arpels are seeking damages of $75,000+ for copyright infringement and unfair competition.
Judge for yourself. I have posted pictures of Klum with her designs, and Van Cleef & Arpels' Alhambra design. I think Klum has no case. I loved her designs so much because they looked like the VCA designs - at a cheaper price. Klum might be saying auf wiedersehen to her jewels soon.
