FASHION SCRAMBLE: Jo-Ann Fabrics Gets Coached + MObama Gets Styled + Givenchy Gets Chucked
Edited by Lester Brathwaite
- Poor Jo-Ann Fabrics. There they were, just trying to unload some tacky fleece patterns on a craft-loving public, when Coach comes along and sues them for trademark infringement. Apparently, the luxury brand finds the elongated Os of a pattern at an Ohio-based Jo-Ann Fabrics far too similar to their Signature C logo and was afraid it would cause”consumer confusion.” Is someone flip-flopping or Birkenstocking into their local Jo-Ann’s really going to be that confused let alone know what Coach’s Signature C looks like? Not when they have all that decoupaging ahead of them. [WWD]
