Fashion Nova done messed with the wrong designer this time.

The fashion brand tried their hand at knocking off the iconic Versace dress Jennifer Lopez wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards — and Versace is suing.

via Complex:

Versace has filed a suit with Fashion Nova for ripping off J.Lo’s Grammy gown, as well as a few other designs. The Italian design house labels Fashion Nova as a fast-fashion movement—a.k.a. scammers. In court documents, Versace calls Fashion Nova a “serial infringer specializing in ‘fast-fashion’ knock-offs.” Versace also points to the famous people who have worn their designs, including Princess Diana, Princess Caroline, Elton John, Lady Gaga and Liz Hurley.

The suit also says that Fashion Nova has been sued at least eight times for this type of alleged wrongdoing, including a suit from Adidas.

Versace says it originally warned the fast-fashion company in July 2019, but when nothing happened Versace decided to take the matter to court. The design house is suing Fashion Nova for profits off Versace replicas, and to get an injunction blocking further sales and damages.

In December 2018, the Los Angeles fashion company Riot Society alleged that Fashion Nova stole a Panda bear and rose design, which the company claimed they copyrighted, according to The Blast. Riot Society sent a cease and desist letter to Fashion Nova in June 2018 but never heard back. They sued $150,000 for infringement and demanded all profits that were made off the design

The story of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez is on its way to Netflix.

On Tuesday, the streaming service announced Selena: The Series, a new scripted bio-series about the late Grammy-winner.

via EW:

Described as a coming of age story, the show follows Selena Quintanilla-Pérez as her dreams come true and all the heart-wrenching and life-changing choices she and her family have to make as they navigate success, family, and music.

Responsible for hit songs like “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” and “Dreaming of You,” Selena is one of the biggest Mexican stars. Her life was cut short in 1995 when she was murdered by the president of her fan club. This isn’t the first time her story has been adapted for the screen, either. Jennifer Lopez played the singer/actress/model in the 1997 biopic film Selena.

According to a Netflix press release, the Quintanilla family is “fully involved” in the show and will executive produce alongside Moisés Zamora (American Crime), who is writing the script. Jaime Dávila, Rico Martinez, Suzette Quintanilla, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., and Simran A. Singh are also listed as executive producers.

“Selena will always have a lasting place in music history and we feel great responsibility to do justice to her memory. With this series, viewers will finally get the full history of Selena, our family, and the impact she has had on all of our lives. We are excited to partner with Campanario and Netflix to give fans a never-before-seen glimpse at our story and highlight why Selena will remain a legend for generations to come,” said Selena’s sister Suzette Quintanilla in the press release.

Gladly , the family is fully involved. but it’ll ummm how can they top the Jennifer Lopez ‘Selena.’
