Yves Saint Laurent
Today's shoe is the centre of controversy. The all red YSL pump is the cause of a lawsuit brought forth by Christian Louboutin. In the trademark infringement suit, for which he is seeking $1 million in damages, Louboutin claims that YSL ripped off his red soles. The suit states "Mr Louboutin is the first designer to develop the idea of having red soles on women's shoes." YSL disagrees citing King Louis XIV and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz as having red soles in court papers.
