Karl Lagerfeld Will Not Tolerate Hoi Polloi Appropriations Of Chanel

ETA: Gawker thinks Karl Lagerfeld and CHANEL lawyers are pompous asses, but as a loyal CHANEL lover I support the warning.

I also support the warning, CHANEL just wants to protect their trademark.

This is not new, BTW. I've seen this a couple of times before.

^^Oh really? I thought it was new. I'm glad they are actively protecting the brand.

LOL at "Chanel-ized" and "Chanel-issime". I wonder where these terms were used?

 

[laurayuki]

Nice.

I hope Chanel gets even more aggressive in their fight against counterfeiters too.

They're lawyers, and they can't come up with better terms? How about Chanel-esque?

Yes, they have to remind people every few years.
