Gucci wins copyright case on “Elisabetta Gucci”
Gucci is pleased to announce that the injunctive proceeding filed in Florence in June against the unauthorized use of the mark Elisabetta Gucci made by Mr. Ziller, Formitalia S.r.l., Mirabili S.r.l. and Formitalia Group S.p.A. was decided in its favour.
According to the court's order, all the counterparts have to immediately cease any use of the mark at issue as well as of the domain name “Elisabetta Gucci” for any business or advertising purpose. The court furthermore imposed a penalty for any possible violation of its order, awarded Gucci legal fees and ordered the publication of the interim decision in two newspapers and a magazine.
Gucci welcomes this decision, which represents a relevant precedent in terms of intellectual property protection and will hopefully act as a significant deterrent for those who intend to unlawfully license or commercially exploit the Gucci trademarks.
Use of the mark Elisabetta Gucci by the above mentioned parties has caused customer confusion and has been harmful to Gucci’s business and well-known reputation. Gucci will always act vigorously against product counterfeiting or intellectual property infringements.
Gucci does not intend to let the power of its brand be diluted by counterfeiting or intellectual property infringements. The Florentine House is fully committed to maintain and protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world in order to ensure that its unique heritage be strongly preserved and fully respected.

Review: AFI Africa Fashion Week 2010
OMG!! First of all, for a woman who calls herself a “designer”, Bonang didn’t step up to the peddle still, because the dress she wore for the S.A.B.C coverage was rather “sloppy” and “disturbing”.
David Tlale’s new hairstyle, WOW (not in a good way)!!! And was it really necessary that he showed his collection at Midnight?? I mean it wasn’t even that good!
Now that that’s out of the way, we can get down to real fashion. Personally I was really impressed with the Somalian born and American based twins, whom their brand “MATAANO” in my opinion was the freshest, most elegant and sophisticated collection at the Africa Fashion Week.
Designers to watch: *Laquan Smith (U.S.A)
*Bunmi Koko (Nigeria)
*Heni (South Africa)
Awards: Short
Model of the year: Sessilee Lopez
Designer of the year. Int.: Bunmi Koko
Designer of the year Africa: Ituen Basi
Male Style influence: Michael Jackson
Female style icon: Grace Jones
Lifetime Achievement: *Yves Saint Laurent
*Azzedine Aluia
*Joseph Ettedgui
