Posted May 14th, 2013 by ShineOn
Collaborating together on a pretty sweet lawsuit. Has anyone else been following this fiasco? Curious to hear some thoughts from the Mintees community.

At the end of the day, anytime a streetwear brand is using that font on a red box, they are referencing Supreme not Kruger.
Also thought it was interesting that part of MTTM's defense was that the design was created to parody the "misogynistic vibe" of Supreme and that they are a feminist brand that supports equality, progression, bullshit, etc.
Supreme's legal counter to that was call out MTTM shirts that use "phrases that are not feminist but rather statements that objectify women and perpetuate negative stereotypes". (Will F*ck for Chanelâ?? and â??Want Me Hold Me F*ck Me Hate Meâ??)
I first kind of laughed this whole thing off at first but as it has progressed I'm finding it the details pretty interesting and I'm curious to see where this all lands.

agreed, i've definitely been following this. This is a very interesting case for designers and clothing company owners (and more) everywhere

I really feel the whole misogyny angle MTTM are pulling is a sad attempt to gain attention.

i'm sure obey would be upset if i made $10 mil off of a parody shirt that said "obey bitch" with andre the giant, even though they make money off of andre's persona basically.

I interviewed Leah McSweeney today on the aftermath of the Supreme x MOB case and she had some really interesting things to talk about business and how the MOB brand has come out the other end. Please let me know your thoughts on the interview!
