Talk about scandals of 2011 and this will no doubt will be on the list next to that of John Galliano and Christian Dior.
Who owns the red shoe sole?

Can you tell the difference?
The famous French footwear designer Christian Louboutin has entered into a litigation war with iconic french couture house Yves Saint Laurent, for what it claims to be infringement on the use of their ”red sole” design on shoes.
According to business week “Louboutin, based in Paris, said Yves Saint Laurent is selling shoes with red soles that are “virtually identical” to its own, according to a suit filed today in federal court in Manhattan. It seeks a court injunction against the sale of the shoes and damages of at least $1 million.”
So far Yves Saint Laurent , the company that is now owned by Paris-based PPR, has no comments. Let’s see what evolves as the weeks progress.
Yves Saint Laurent passed away in 2008.
