If that title didn't get you.. here's meat of the dish..

I often search for "unusual shoes" to see where my blog and stuff are on google.. this was a hit I found..

This Week in Shoes | ShoeBlog

Whoa.. wait.. I made THESE shoes.
They are not exact.. of course not.. you can't have moving gun sights on a RL shoe.. BUT if you read the Lagerfeld quote. "He saw an image of a gun somewhere"

Now.. the gun is in the same position, and it's even the same type of gun. It's a platform..

I dunno.. you all have been around alot more than me.. and some of yous is even lawyers!

Advise me

When did you make your shoes? the blog was dated May 18th, 2008

You totally need to get Tenshi on this!

Probably all you can do is be flattered you've been referenced? *Or maybe find a way to redirect some of the hype to yourself and use the news to stir up interest in new versions of that shoe?

Ideas cannot be copyrighted, only the execution of that idea.

You both made shoes with a gun as the heel, but they are not prim-for-prim copies of each other. These are both different expressions of the same idea.

You have no case.

someone deleted the first (other than OP) post (which wasn't originally mine)

just noticing

Amused that this thread turns up on the comments to that blog, complete with the title "Karl Lagerfeld steals my shoes".

You'd have to have had a design patent on your shoes, and even that would have been of limited use since it only takes minimal changes to get around them.

Did he throw them at President Bush?
