Hells Angels are suing Alexander McQueen.

Um...what?

Apparently the fashion house has missused the 'skull with wings' thing it has going on.
You know the kind I mean;


I'm fairly certain you’ll know who Hell’s Angels are: a big biker club / gang, very notorious and all the rest. Known for their jackets of course which look like this.

What I want to know is, what Hell’s Angel’s member is a fan of one of the biggest fashion houses in the world? How do they even know who Alexander McQueen is? 


Has he been sitting up at night, flicking across to FTV? Has he been browsing the website Fall 10 / 11 collection? How did he even come across an McQueen piece?
They have actually researched this as well, with the lawsuit stating the offending items include a chiffon scarf, a cocktail dress and an embossed clutch.
CHIFFON SCARF?! What biker that you know would be able to tell you what chiffon IS?




Quite frankly, these pictures just make me want to go shopping.

  2. Ouch! That bites the big one. I mean I understand where they're coming from and everything, but I'm pretty sure they're not the only ones that are "allowed" to use that specific symbol, right? Tough gang to go up against, McQueen!

  3. pretty close match id say however i don't think MQueen is that hard up for ideas! look at the use of wings and similar insignia in general - for eg thomas sabo and their recent line of jewellery.
    be interesting to see how this one ends up - don't want to piss these guys off too much:) maybe they can compromise and have the hells group start wearing McQueen! hell they could do with an overhaul in the fashion dept:):)

  6. Thanks for welcoming me as well! Those hells angels r no joke and should not be underestimated. I've seen specials on them on tv and they r soo scary it gives me nightmares. I'm loving that ring though. These angels should take it as a compliment instead of suing. But suing is so en vogue, maybe they do know more about fashion than we suspected.
