Jennifer Lopez‘s Versace dress at the 2000 Grammy Awards is an iconic moment in fashion history— it nearly broke the internet with search queries, and led to the birth of Google Images as we know it. Now, the Italian luxury home goods and fashion house is defending their legacy in a lawsuit against digital-first retailer Fashion Nova, who stands accused of infringing on Versace’s copyright and trademarks through their sales of an alleged knockoff of the classic dress.
According to Forbes, Versace, which is now owned by fashion entrepreneur Michael Kors, filed a 35-page suit in California U.S. District courts on Monday. The Italian company is appealing to jurors to put a stop-order on Fashion Nova’s sale of the replicas and is also seeing restitution for legal fees and other damages.
