They probably have waited so long because they've been working on getting a strong case against Guess. At the end this won't break Guess.

I agree with [coco], in the 90's guess was a lot more respectable, I remember my mother always dressing me in Guess. I think this lawsuit was necessary they go to an extreme with ripping of Gucci, their Marciano line has a replica of the gucci 'iman" sandal and it's VERY good, if I saw someone with them I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

It's kinda sad because Guess had cool stuffs back in the 90s.

Hmm, I'll be surprised if anything comes of this. Think how many department stores brands are based on high-end designs...I would say most of them have a least a handful of products that are shockingly similar to designer goods. Off hand, Nine West, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Steve Madden...the list is endless.

I noticed Guess products were becoming way too similar to some of the Gucci pieces in the past couple of years. It's about time, Gucci did something about it - though I don't know if it's going to stop Guess from ripping off the designs.

Guess have been walking a fine line & they have really crossed it. It was only a matter of time before this happened!

Here's a link to "Counterfeit Chic" which shows a comparison of the Gucci and Guess shoes, it was back in March last year:

I get "designer inspired" but c'mon! What Guess is doing is just blatant, straight-up theft!
