Will Christian Louboutin lose his red sole trademark?: This year, shoe designer Christian Louboutin got into it with the folks Yves Saint Laurent for producing an all-red shoe with a red sole- Louboutin’s trademark. While YSL won the case, allowing the house to continue putting red soles on whichever shoes they damn well please, Louboutin is pushing to appeal, so as not to lose the red sole trademark given to him in 2008. We wonder what sort of brand reinvention would have to happen were his trademark revoked. How will we commoners be able to identify ostentatious displays of wealth (or exclusive access to the Loubi sample sale) if we can’t see your, to quote rapper Trina, “long heel red bottoms?”
