For four years now, Louis Vuitton has been trying to convince a judge that Dooney & Bourke's multicolored monogram handbags were too similar to their own monogrammed purses and customers would get confused (we’re talking about the white/colored monogrammed purses for LV and D&B, for clarification). On Friday May 30, the judge determined consumers probably won't confuse one for the other and ruled in Dooney & Bourke's favor; LV used a larger font size and a combination of letters and shapes, D&B just uses an unadorned DB.

So, it took four years to figure that out? Vuitton plans to appeal the decision. Of course they do.

Last night’s show tackled a big fashion issue as of late – copying designs. But it wasn’t a fairly simple situation of Forever 21 knocking off Victory’s designs. That’d be too easy. Turns out one of Victory’s former employees sold her sketches to a big-name designer, Richard Bragini. Since Victory didn’t have her sketches of the various dresses – a red, strapless sweetheart necklined number with a burgundy sash, a strapless, white lace number, a silverish-purple printed dress – anymore, because they were sold to Richard, she couldn’t do anything about it. But, this is based on a Candace Bushnell novel, so of course the next morning a wealthy investor stops by looking to invest in Victory’s label because his girlfriend loved one of her dresses. Good things always happen right after setbacks, right? So life is looking up for Victory, and her wardrobe is staying consistently fabulous – textured fabrics, bright colors, short, strapless dresses and bubble hems. I’m not trying to shortchange Wendy and Nico here, but the most interesting fashion dynamics happen to Victory because, well, she is a fashion designer.
