Rock & Republic Jeans versus Victoria Beckham?
Monday, December 18th, 2006
Victoria Beckham is reputedly threatening to sue Rock & Republic Jeans, the brand she apparently helped build and for which she designed a number of styles. A source quoted by the Sunday Mirror said: “Victoria Beckham’s lawyers and accountants believe the range to have been far more successful than anyone imagined and Victoria is owed tens of millions of pounds.”
This is all interesting stuff since Queen Liz II was reputedly considering suing Posh for nicking her Royal emblem and sticking it on the butt of her Rock & Republic Jeans. No doubt this combative chatter will all soon die down and Victoria Beckham can focus on her new fashion venture DVB.
Skull Jeans is the brain-child of the internationally renowned designer Hiroshi Yamazaki. Yamazaki’s reputation was built on exclusive brands such as Fab Four, named after the Beatles his lifelong heroes and Alchemist, a fashion brand established upon the idea of Alchemy in which base metals turn into gold — and therefore true fashion has an equal capacity to turn into wealth. Alchemist subsequently evolved into the Skull Jeans brand. The designs are simple, uncompromising and are designed to last.
Introduced by Paul Cook, former drummer of punk act The Sex Pistols, and sporting a brown T-shirt emblazoned “Gio-Goi,” rocker Pete Doherty made his debut as the new face of the new label.
