Fashion Wars: MaXhosa Takes Legal Action Against ZARA
Fashion Wars: MaXhosa Takes Legal Action Against ZARA. Maxhosa is crying foul that ZARAA has copied one of their signature patterns. According to a press release by MaXhosa, the patterns were appropriated and reproduced in as part of ZARA’s sock range which they shared as new in their best-sellers on their online store.
ZARA sock range resembles Maxhosa Khanyisa Cardigan which was launched in March 2014 at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Joburg. The socks have been spotted at ZARA outlets in UK, New York and here at home at ZARA Sandton, South Africa.
Maxhosa has consulted with Shane Moore and Muhammad Patel from Moore Attorneys, who are handling the matter on their behalf. They have since sent a letter to the parent company alerting them of the copyright infringement and Maxhosa demands. “The debate as to whether we shall win the case or not remains, we stand by our decision to fight such a case. Thus, we have sent our letter of demand and we await their reply, Maxhosa said in a statement.
