Designer Sues Over Aretha Franklin's Hat Knockoffs
Remember that inneresting hat Aretha Franklin wore to the presidential inauguration in January of 2009?
Almost a year and a half later the designer of that "lavish and ornate" hat, Luke Song, is now suing competitors for knocking it off!
Song claims in the suit that his hat "gained instantaneous fame and notoriety, attracting much more media attention than even Aretha Franklin's performance itself" and wants a judicial order that bans any more sales of the bowed hat.
Who knew people were still buying them, let alone wearing them!
