Six months ago, Louis Vuitton sued The Hangover 2 over Zach Galifianakis' line, "Careful, that is a Louis Vuitton," because it could cause "consumer confusion" since the bag was obviously fake. No worries though, a judge ruled against LV earlier this week calling the allegations “not plausible” or “particularly compelling." HA. I'm glad the judge realizes that "consumer confusion" isn't a real thing because, hello, if you're paying $30 for a designer handbag off of the street it's clearly not real. [Fashionista]

Want to know where the inspiration came from for McDonald's employees newest uniforms. Just Don Draper and the cast of Mad Men. Yep, you read that right. Fashion designer Wayne Hemingway looked to the Sixties when re-designing the fast food chain's uniforms in the UK just in time for the Olympics. Um. Telegraph reports:
He said the look, with skinny ties for the male managers, pencil skirts for the female managers, and Fred Perry style polo shirts were inspired by a mixture of the 1960s mod movement and Mad Men, the American television programme set in that decade.
"We wanted classic design. A narrow tie will always be fashionable. There is a very subtle hint to the mod look, which has never gone out of fashion. Fred Perry has never gone out of fashion. That's why we've gone for a polo shirt with a bit of a trim."
He said the managers' outfits, which are more formal, "hark back to a day of really classy air travel". He added: "There's just a little bit of Mad Men."

We already know that people with BDD are at a higher risk for suicide, but in disturbing fashion-related news of the day, fashion magazines are the root of the problem, according to a coroner in the UK. The coroner, Michael Rose, said he felt the fashion industry was directly responsible for the death of 14-year-old Fiona Geraghty, who committed suicide after being taunted for her weight at school and developing an eating disorder. Girls are so cruel. Maybe this will help the magazine industry stick to their new health initiative. [Daily Mail]
