Steve Madden Is Suing YSL for Threatening to Sue Steve Madden (The Fashion Law)
In an unexpected — some might even say ironic — turn of events, Steve Madden is suing YSL over cease and desist letters that the French luxury house has issued against Madden for their Sicily sandal.

Steve Madden claims that no one could ever confuse a high heel shoe with a flat, and thus is suing YSL for attempting to stifle “legitimate” competition.
