Brooklyn Designer Accuses Yoko Ono and Opening Ceremony of Copying Her Designs
Yoko Ono's menswear collection for Opening Ceremony was... a lot of things. Wacky? Sure. Difficult to pull off? Definitely. But, unoriginal? That seemed unlikely. However, Brooklyn-based designer Haleh Nematzadeh thought Ono's designs looked a little too familiar. She's gone so far as to file a lawsuit against Ono this past Friday, claiming the 80-year-old artist conspired with Opening Ceremony to steal her designs.
