Thom Browne and German sportswear brand in fresh logo battle
Adidas has been accused of threatening the creative freedom of fashion designers by seeking to establish a “monopoly” on clothing featuring stripes, in a London legal battle with luxury brand Thom Browne. The New York designer faced off against the sportswear group at the High Court on Wednesday, in the latest round of a long-running global dispute over stacks of stripes printed on items such as hoodies and T-shirts.
He is regarded as among the most influential designers of the past two decades, and his garments have been sported by stars including basketball player LeBron James and the late David Bowie. Thom Browne, launched in 2001 with a small “by appointment” shop in New York’s West Village, originally adopted a three-bar motif on its garments. The company, now a part of the Italian family-controlled Ermenegildo Zegna group, said it had agreed to add a fourth bar after Adidas made a complaint in 2007.
