Get Off 'Er Ass
Filed under: Fashion Smashion > Legal Matters
Juicy Couture filed a lawsuit in Manhattan on Tuesday against Victoria's Secret for 'stealing' Juicy's idea of slapping a brand name on the backsides of sweatpants.
You know, cuz that's SUCH an original idea!
"The similarities are not inadvertent and are designed to capitalize on the success of Juicy Couture," says the Federal suit.
Juicy's also claiming that Victoria's Secret's practice of selling apparel wrapped in the shape of lollipops, bon bons and ice cream cones totally bites off the success of Juicy's Sweet Shoppe packaging.
Guess when money is at stake (i.e. the shopping dollars of the lovely young ladies), copying is NOT viewed as the ultimate form of flattery!
Whose side are U on, ladies???

Who cares
VS!!!!!!!!!!
VS all the way!
God I hate those clothes with writing slpped across the ass. It makes the girls wearing that shit look cheap.
victoria secret. fuck at least they make it affordable.
maybe 1st???
Victoria secret!!!
Victoria's secret is cuter and cheaper. No one wears Juicy anymore.
first
love 'em both
FUCK JUICY…..EVERYONE DOES IT GO TO WAL MART AND ULL SEE THE SAME DAMN THING!!!!
I would buy either. What is the big deal. Most people will purchase from either store. How childish
FIRST
and HOW long have words been printed on the asses of sweatpants? sorry juicy, but you're about 10 years too late to complain.
Juicy Couture all the way! VS is a cheap wanna be!
WHO exactly is their market? Is it teens? No one I know in their late 20s or higher would wear something with a brand on their ASS! Especially if you have children. Can you imagine the moms picking up their kids at school with a brand on their behind! What a dumb trend!
1st
juicy's. duh better clothes
umh this is ridiculous. if juicy wasn't so expensive maybe people would buy it. the only reason they are filing a law suit is because they probably aren't making enough money. if they are suing Victoria secret, they might as well sue every other clothing brand imaginable for posting words on the ass of sweatpants.
Victoria Secret all the way. Who'd juicy steal that idea from… Every high school sports team????
juicy is being ridiculous.
i think they both need to stop writing shit on the ass it looks trashy
FIRSTT?!?!?!
Juicy all the way baby!
Victoria Secret!
thats ridiculous abercrombie and fitch have their names all over peoples asses why dont they sue them?
who cares?! they are both going to have to give it up and move on to something new eventually anyway.
JUICY!!!
first, and doesn't EVERYONE put stuff on the ass of sweatpants? I'm pretty sure you can find that anywhere, and juicy wasn't the first to do it, they just did it a lot more than most people.
neither. this is dumb.
this is so lame! they make enough money as it is. corporate snobs.
victoria's
victoria's! natch
PINK!!!!
um. no comparison.. Juicy Couture is way above the "run of the mill" VS. VS has always knocked off other "real" lables.
it's not that big of a deal…
i thought those WERE Juicy pants.
Thats dumb! Victorias secret has some much cuter designs anyways!
I'm on no one's side as far as this is concerned. Because wearing a huge label across your ass is just tacky. As a matter of fact wearing any kind of clothes with it's label emblazoned all over it is tacky. It just seems so juvenile as if you're screaming to the world "Look what I can afford." Gross.
fuck juicy its all about VS…juicy needs to get over themselves
Juicy's side. But whatev, if girls want to buy cheap knock-offs, that's their problem. Ewww. Personally, I'd be embarrassed to wear "Pink." It's not original. VS, don't you have any ideas of your own?
Your moms side, last night!
Victoria's Secret! FIRST!
VA JAY JAY
JUICY HAS A POINT!!
.
BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY XTINA PANTS THAT SAY "STRIPPED" ON THE BUT! THEY'RE MY FAV!!
.
such a baseless suit. the people at juicy couture are idiots.
Who cares i can't fit in any of there clothes any way.
VS All the way!!!!!
Happy Birthday to me!
Re: Nikki – oh, moms wear them, rich moms who don't know how to dress themselves wear them. trust me, I used to work at a mall and we could always tell who the mom's from the rich area of town were because of their juicy sweatsuits. It's all the moms who also get plastic surgery and bleach out their hair and go tanning all the time, so you know, not REAL moms but still
JUICY JUICY JUCIY!!!
I hate knock offs!
i absolutely adore juicy couture
I agree. They ripped it off.
NONE! That's just TACKY! I would NEVER EVER WEAR SWEATS! GROSS!!!
GO VS
Juicy forever!! , f**k cheap ass victoria's secret!
Thats So stupid….. thats not even an origional F'in idea…
vicy secrets
are you kidding me thats stupid as hell!!! GO VS!!!!
Who gives a S#!+? Those pants are 5 years out of style, and were shiteous when they were in style.
JUICY ALL THE WAY!!! - THE original!!!!!!!!
perez- I absolutely LOVE the fact that I can be on this site, leave, come back just a few minutes later and there are new posts! way to be on your game… You fucking rock.
Victoria's! there stuff is way less overpriced than frekkin juicy couture..and its more comfy!
VS!!!! The lawsuit sounds totally ABSURD!!!
juicy!
juicy WAS first to putt wording on the butt of the track suit trend. and then everyone…trashy walmart labels included…worded their tracksuits, including victorias secret's launch and success of the pink brand.
fuck that victoria's secret is way better
Juciy. VS can have their cheap tacky clothes. At least Juicy doesn't sell freaking bodysuits.
They'd have to sue every clothing brand in the world then. Everyone has words on their ass these days
GET OVER IT JUICY…ACTUALLY, BOTH YOU GUYS ARE LAME. YOUR CLOTHES ARE CHEAP AND UGLY.
victoria's secret all the way!! their clothes are cheaper, cuter, and are actually a lot better made than juicy.
I think they should put a logo right acoss the vagina that reads JUICY SNATCH. Then let's see what happens.
Hey, Perez, what about the $$ of us lovely old girls. I wear VS bras; someday may get the courage to buy their undies…and I'm a senior — but a hot one:)
I'm pretty sure University sports teams started that practice…
Personally I could give 2 shits whether something is wrapped in the shape of lollipops, bon bons and ice cream cones. There are plenty other clothing stores with writing splattered across the ass. Who really cares?
VS all the way, fuck you juicy, you're just mad cause you dont have any more original ideas, although I must say Ill buy your purses.
pa-lease… there are tons of companies doing this logo on the butt thing. some fitness brands have done this long before juicy. juicy is going after victoria's secret simply because they view them as a threat because they bite into the same demographic. i hope they get laughed out of court and have to pay legal expenses on top of that.
juicy - copying design SUCKS
Juicy Couture sells some fugly shit. I'm with VS?
Victoria's Secret…..Seriously. My soccer team started putting our team name on the butts of our sweats like years and years ago.
JUICY COUTURE ALL THE WAY BABY, don't mess with the G&P LOOOOVE them !
Either way, it's tacky. I've seen 8 year olds wearing that crap and I want to slap their mothers (of course, it was on Staten Island, Tacky Capital of the World - and Don't think I'm hating on SI, I live there my whole life, it's just a fact). Worse than the 8 year olds are their 35 year old mothers wearing the same crap because they think it's cute that they can fit into their 8 year old kids' sweats. I think the people they are marketing these items to (18-25) are the only ones NOT wearing them.
That is the FLATEST ass ever! Attention should NOT be brought to it…reguardless of brand!!
Vicky's. Putting words on the rear of pants isn't a Juicy original. I have shorts from dance/cheer competitions with words on the butt that were purchased over a decade ago. Juicy needs to put their big girl panties on a get over it.
Yea, I am pretty sure I have a pair of cheerleading shorts from 1995 that says CHS on the butt. Is Varsity cheer brand going to sue Juicy? Just sayin. Plus, Juicy reminds me of Pamela Anderson. El Cheapo!
i think juicy and victoria's secret target different markets. juicy is slightly more upscale whereas victoria's secret sells their items at a much lower pricepoint. i dont think that theres too much direct competition there.
Maybe more people would buy Juicy if it wasn't so damn expensive. VS all the way!
If Juicy is going to sue Victoria Secret, then they need to also start suing all the universities and high schools that put the school name on the ass of sweatpants. It's just a stupid trend. Juicy needs to get over it.
VS is way more resonably priced than Juicy & almost as cute so VS!
RE: Tracy
don't be hatin' b! You're just jealous you're not a fabulous mom like me, yes I wear juicy, not just the sweatsuits, yes, I bleach my hair. And damn I'm the best mom ever and my little girl who wears juicy too, thinks I'm the coolest mom around. Don't be jealous K!
VS … i mean if juicy werent so darn expensive people would buy more…
Uh, my college (Auburn University) was slapping it's name and logo across the ass of athletic shorts long before I ever saw it on a pair of Juicy velours/track pants. Does that mean Auburn can sue Juicy Couture?
Whoever thought of this lawsuit has to be a moron — there are TONS of brands that put their logos on the back of pants. You can't copyright someone's ass.
I don't even like Victoria's Secret, because I think they make cheap crap, but Juicy is fooling themselves into thinking their the first company to put writing on the back of clothes - get real! I had a pair of shorts like that in the 80s.
"Juicy" on the back of my butt? No. Buying either one of these overpriced pieces of sh…? Hell no.
Juicy- even though its for tweens now. There's nothing i loathe more than seeing PINK everywhere i go. not cute.
VS clothing is made poorly and uses cheap material. Juicy has a right to be upset. VS sales have been down for a long time. That's why they can't afford Gisele's $10 million price tag.
Victoria's Secret!
VICKY SEEKS ROCKS!!! %&* that overpriced sweat shop JUICY trash
Um, did Juicy pay royalties to BUM Equipment? As I recall, decades ago, that was what THEY did.
That said, it looked stupid then, and looks stupid now. Might as well let Vicky's do it, too.
