Christian Louboutin sues Yves Saint Laurent over "Red Bottoms"



Since Future and 2Chainz exploded in Atlanta every female and hypebeast who wants to ride the wave has had “Red Bottoms” on the brain. Red Bottom shoes are the signature line of Christian Louboutin and he claims popular French line Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) has been stealing his idea for years. YSL produces women’s shoes using the “Chinese Red” color and the case was initially thrown out in 2011 but Louboutin is not giving up, he has appealed. Louboutin released his red bottom undersole shoes in 1992 and it was trademarked in 2008 but YSL has been producing their own red bottoms since 2011. Many fashion critics claim although the red bottoms are rightfully Louboutins the trademarking of a color should not be allowed.

What do you think??
