Hip-Hop’s favorite sweater design is now the subject of a high-priced lawsuit. Complex is reporting that Coogi Australia is suing the Brooklyn Nets over their recent tribute to the Black Frank White. The team’s limited-edition “Brooklyn Camo” jerseys featured a colorful trim that is very similar to the apparel company’s iconic knitwear design. Considering B.I.G. popularized the pricey cardigans with several references in his songs it seems that their legal gripe does have some merit. View this post on Instagram Coogi down to the socks A post shared by BIGGIE SMALLS (@notorious_big_) on May 3, 2018 at 6:21am PDT In the court documents Coogi took a hard stance on the perceived infringement. “While other colorful and ornamental sweaters have and continue to exist, the highly distinctive and ornamental designs of COOGI sweaters and apparel have become exceedingly famous.” Coogi is seeking monies for damages and are asking that the NBA team cease selling the apparel immediately. Originally launched in 1969 the brand has become the knit to wear for flex purposes. Since getting B.I.G.’s cosign in the 90’s Coogi has been worn by an a-list of celebrities including Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor, Kanye West, Drake and more. Photo: The Brooklyn Nets
View this post on Instagram I’m telling you, I’m the most vintage @fashionnova ”nova babe” on the gram right now lol loving this fit from them GOOD VIBES ONLY A post shared by Jennifer Mcking (@therealjennifermcking) on Oct 19, 2018 at 9:54am PDT Style is very objective. Some people like to keep it classy, tailored and sophisticated, while others see fashion as a form of artistic expression. Jennifer Mcking is certainly one of those people who expresses herself through her eclectic fashion sense. The London based fashion influencer has been turning heads on Instagram for many years now, but before her vintage swag set social media on fire, she was just a young intern trying to find her way. View this post on Instagram Ok, But let’s talk about style FIT @prettylittlething #AD A post shared by Jennifer Mcking (@therealjennifermcking) on Feb 14, 2019 at 9:12am PST “Unlike many people that have hopped onto styling because it’s cool I got into styling back when I was 14 years of age. I used to intern at Vivienne Westwood head office back then and they trained me up haha so from there I just carried on doing my thing.” – Jennifer Mcking for Mess Mag There’s not many words that can perfectly describe Mcking’s personal style aesthetic. Some would say ghetto chic, while others automatically notice the nostalgic 90’s influence in all of her photos — straight down to the hair and nails. But one thing you can say about her look is that it’s unlike anyone else. View this post on Instagram loving the @prettylittlething and @karlkani collaboration My mother had something similar to this fit back in the 90s ! #AD A post shared by Jennifer Mcking (@therealjennifermcking) on Jan 23, 2019 at 1:44pm PST “I can never define my style because I feel like my style changes up all the time. It all comes down to how I feel on the day I’m going out, I can be a 90s vintage queen one day then another day; I’ll dress completely opposite like, a bit more trendy.” With over 61,000 followers on IG, it’s no surprise that the influencer would take her talents to designing her own ish. According to Jennifer, her very own Mcking Brand is coming very soon. Just like her own style, the brand will be for folks who value authenticity over trendiness. View this post on Instagram SHMONNY COLOURS @prettylittlething #AD A post shared by Jennifer Mcking (@therealjennifermcking) on Jan 20, 2019 at 10:10am PST “One of the things I rant and rave about is the fact that everyone looks the same to me, there is a very few amount of original people in this day and age. Being able to come up with something original is the best thing ever.” But where does one, whose style is so broad and unique, get the pieces to put together these hot looks? Jennifer says Vintage shopping is the way to go. She even deems herself a “vintage shop junkie”. The fact that Mcking’s style is so originally makes you wonder which fashion icon influences her look. Judging by her Twitter page — all things Black, all things bold and anything from the 90’s can inspire Jennifer to put together a whole fashion moment.

Source: Gotham / Getty Kim Kardashian Can’t “Sit Silent” About Fast Fashion Knock-Offs Rumors about the relationship between Kim Kardashian and Fashion Nova/other fast fashion brands have been more abundant than usual lately. These companies knocking off the KarJenners and their expensive looks is definitely nothing new, but these practices were highlighted even more so two weeks ago, when Kim posted a photo of her in a fitting, sporting a dress that she never ended up actually wearing outside. In her caption she wrote, “P.S. fast fashion brands, can you please wait until I wear this in real life before you knock it off?” But of course, they didn’t wait until Kim wore the dress in real life, and within hours, both Fashion Nova and Missguided had similar gold gowns available for purchase on their site. View this post on Instagram Hey @KimKardashian, We Just Couldn’t Help Ourselves Search: “The IRL Skirt Set” www.FashionNova.com A post shared by FashionNova.com (@fashionnova) on Feb 8, 2019 at 5:52pm PST Fast forward to present day, as pictures of Kim wearing a vintage Mugler gown hit the internet. The jokes about Fashion Nova knocking off Kim’s outfit were all over Twitter within minutes and in a few hours, a similar dress was available for sale on Fashion Nova’s website. #Mugler pic.twitter.com/vj65wr20d7 — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 18, 2019 View this post on Instagram Don’t Worry, We Got You Covered Search: “Winning Beauty Cut Out Gown” Search: “The Glass Slipper Heel” www.FashionNova.com A post shared by FashionNova.com (@fashionnova) on Feb 18, 2019 at 5:46pm PST This latest knock-off had a lot of people thinking that Kim and Fashion Nova have some sort of arrangement, especially once Yodit Yemane–the model in nearly every FN photo–leaked some information on her Instagram story. As Diet Prada points out, Yemane’s video shows a series of pictures from her photoshoot in the latest Kim copycat dress. Not only are the files labeled “Kim Dress,” but the date of the photo session reads “02-14-19, “which is 4 days before Kim was pictured wearing the dress. View this post on Instagram UPDATE: See stories for a screenshot of the date of the Capture One session (it’s labeled 02-14-19). Fashion Nova Mugler knockoff shot 4 days before Kim wore it on 02/18/19. Kim, you’ll never fess up to your sneaky lil collaborations, but we got all the receipts . • ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At some point recently, a fast fashion photo shoot happened featuring a vintage Mugler dress that @kimkardashian just happened to wear on Sunday night to the Hollywood Beauty Awards…and yes, it appears to be a real dress, not photoshop. Ahead of Fashion Nova releasing the dress at 9pm EST tonight, house model Yodit Yemane may or may not have accidentally leaked a story 2.5 hours earlier of photo options from her shoot featuring the Mugler replica. The file names were even labeled “Kim dress” while it’s now being called “Winning Beauty Cut Out Gown” lol. This begs the question: Did Fashion Nova whip up the dress overnight in their Los Angeles atelier after seeing Kim in it or is she peddling her vintage finds to mass retailers ahead of debuting them for a calculated, timely release? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • : Getty • #kimkardashian #mugler #thierrymugler #manfredthierrymugler #bodycon #cutout #barelythere #strappy #straps #black #vintage #dress #velvet #fashionnova #wiwt #ootd #kuwtk #hollywood #beauty #kkwbeauty #kardashian #ecommerce #shady #smh #photoshoot #model #fashionmodel #dietprada A post shared by Diet Prada (@diet_prada) on Feb 18, 2019 at 6:54pm PST This accidental(?) leak drove speculation into overdrive, and Kim clearly noticed just how many people were accusing her of having a secret deal with Fashion Nova–so she took to Twitter to deny everything. It’s devastating to see these fashion companies rip off designs that have taken the blood, sweat and tears of true designers who have put their all into their own original ideas. — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 19, 2019 I’ve watched these companies profit off my husband’s work for years and now that it’s also affecting designers who have been so generous to give me access to their beautiful works, I can no longer sit silent. — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 19, 2019 Only two days ago, I was privileged enough to wear a one-of-a-kind vintage Mugler dress and in less than 24 hours it was knocked off and thrown up on a site – but it's not for sale. You have to sign up for a waitlist because the dress hasn’t even been made to sell yet. — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 19, 2019 This is a way to get people to sign up for their mailing list and make people believe there is some kind of relationship between me and this fashion site. There is not. — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 19, 2019 My relationships with designers are very important to me. It's taken me over a decade to build them and I have a huge amount of respect for the amount of work that they put into bringing their ideas to life. — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 19, 2019 I often plan for weeks, sometimes months, and even a year in advance, and I’m grateful for every fashion moment those designers and their dresses have helped me create. — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 19, 2019 So, as always, don’t believe everything you read and see online. I don’t have any relationships with these sites. I’m not leaking my looks to anyone, and I don’t support what these companies are doing. — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 19, 2019 Fashion Nova even went on to make a statement themselves (because you know Kris Jenner called and demanded it) clarifying to customers that they have never directly worked with Kim on any of her projects. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FashionNova.com (@fashionnova) on Feb 19, 2019 at 10:27am PST So, take it from Fashion Nova and Kim–they don’t have a deal with one another…unless they’re just covering it up to save Kim K’s relationships with these high-end designers. If these two really don’t communicate behind the scenes, how would they explain the photos dated days before Kim wore the dress? Was this “leak” intentional on Fashion Nova’s part to get people talking? For some more information about Kim’s possible shady Fashion Nova dealings, check out this video here . Do you think they’re actually working together, or is Fashion Nova just doing Kim dirty?!

K nowing O.J. Simpson , he’s out socializing with a couple of young women after his latest legal victory. A Los Angles judge on Tuesday sided with him in an attempt to collect on the millions he owes from a 1997 civil court judgment. SEE ALSO: Did The Juice Get Too Loose? O.J. Simpson Banned From Vegas Hotel Fred Goldman , the father of the man Simpson probably killed, and his attorney seldom miss an opportunity to collect on that judgment. They pounce “every time they hear a rumor, see something on television, or read in an internet news posting, a mere vague allegation involving Mr. Simpson’s commercial exploitation of himself,” the former athlete’s attorney told the court. OJ Simpson Wins Legal Battle With Fred Goldman; Gets To Keep All His Money For Now https://t.co/sFkxKqZXu6 pic.twitter.com/A1uqoKS6R2 — Robert Littal (@BSO) January 30, 2018 Goldman sued Simpson in civil court three years after a jury acquitted the former athlete in 1994 of murdering Goldman’s son, Ron Goldman , and his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson . Simpson was ordered to pay Goldman $33.5 million, which has ballooned to more than $70 million. This latest attempt to collect stemmed from the ex-football star selling autographs after his prison release in October for armed robbery. The money he earned from the autograph sales went to pay off legal bills, one of Simpson’s lawyers told the court. The court denied Goldman’s request to collect money from the autograph sale because he could not identify who paid Simpson. One of Goldman’s lawyers has described Simpson’s legal team as masterful at protecting his assets from collection. The lion’s share of The Juice’s remaining wealth is in pension funds that Goldman cannot touch. The lawyer also speculated that Simpson’s team has set up offshore accounts to hide money. However, over the two decades since the judgment, Goldman seized some of Simpson’s money, such as royalties from video games and the rights to a ghostwritten book.

Ever since she first stepped out on the scene, the soulful songstress has had a fashion and beauty look that has set her apart from her counterparts, only solidified by her powerhouse voice. If there’s one thing we can always expect from Day, it’s old-Hollywood/vixen glam with a spin. Never too much, never too busy. Source: John Shearer / Getty Rocking a classic ‘70s beehive hairstyle and a pink and red Victoria Hayes tuxedo gown, Day’s sultry and sophisticated makeup look for the Grammys gave us all the feels. Not only was her makeup identical to her outfit, but she also showed us that sometimes, more is more! A delightful spin on her everyday makeup getup, Day’s look really is for the girl ready to tackle a night out on the town and isn’t afraid to play with color. Her makeup was done by celebrity makeup by Porsche Cooper . Here’s how you can recreate her look right at home: GLITTERY LIDS Day is quite known for her exaggerated cat-eye; this time, she nixed the heavy liner and instead created a wing with a lilac-purple glittery eyeshadow. Start your eye off with a purple base so your glitter won’t shift and move throughout the day (or night). NYX ’s “Purple Velvet” is not only inexpensive ( nyxcosmetics.com , $4.50) , but also just creamy enough to keep the lid moisturized without tugging or pull. Then top it off with Stila Cosmetics’ liquid eyeshadow “Into the Blue” ( Dermstore.com , $24), being sure to pat the product onto your eye and not drag it. For more of a purple frost like Andra’s, you can pat Mac’s “ Beautiful Iris ” ( Ulta.com , $16) onto your crease, slowly working your way up into a cat eye with an exaggerated wing. Be sure to finish it off with lining your bottom lash line with a lighter purple/pink tone (Sephora’s “ Lilac Shimmer ” is a great and inexpensive option) and using a lengthening mascara to make the eyes appear more awake. A RED LIP FOR ALL SKIN TONES Day’s look shows us that you can have a bold eye and lip look without total clashing, and what woman doesn’t feel like a total #boss in a universally flattering red lip? To achieve the vixen glam, you’ll want to overline your top and bottom lips to create more fullness, either with a red lip liner to create a light ombré effect or with the lipstick itself. Of course, Fenty Beauty’s “ Stunna ”( Sephora.com , $24) is our lippie of choice, offering a beautiful soft matte finish while leaving the lips plump and not dry. Go big or go home! RELATED: TRIED IT: #TeamBeautiful Tests Out Rihanna’s Stunna Lip Paint Alternatively, you can also rock Maybelline’s “ Red Revival ”, awesome on budget retailing at only $7.50 or the cult-favorite, MAC’s “ Ruby Woo ” ( maccosmetics.com , $17.50) with a light clear gloss layered on top. For any lipstick, you’ll want to start at the inner corners of your mouth and in slow strokes draw the product down and around to create the shape you’d like. For extra hold, pat your lips once with a paper towel to remove excess product and then add a second layer–it’ll stick to the first and give you a longer wearing red.

In case you were wondering if there’s any love lost between Teen Mom: OG firebrand Farrah Abraham and her MTV co-stars? No. There is no love lost. Speaking with In Touch Weekly in an explosive Facebook Love interview this week, Farrah was asked about several of her cast members. She didn’t hold back. Regarding persistent rumors that Tyler Baltierra cheated on Catelynn Lowell, Abraham added her two cents – and then some. If you missed it, a Teen Mom blind item that went viral online this winter suggested that Tyler had been unfaithful to his wife. According to reports, MTV decided not to pursue this because it wasn’t what the producers envisioned for the duo’s storyline. Dubious as that is, Farrah says she believes the rumors are in fact true – with a gigantic, scandalous twist no one saw coming. “Yeah, probably with a gay guy!” Farrah told In Touch shockingly . “Okay, that’s my thought. You need a minute to digest that.” Baltierra responded to the rumor initially by saying “it was dark and he was drunk” and he couldn’t recall if it was a guy or girl. He was kidding, as was Catelynn, who wrote, “Well since it’s out in the open @TylerBaltierra did cheat on me he’s busted.” All kidding aside, we doubt they’ll be laughing at the fact that Farrah basically called him gay and implied that this happened. Abraham wasn’t done there, either. Throwing gasoline on the pungent dumpster fire that is her ongoing feud with Amber Portwood, Farrah said of her wedding dress: “S–t … I must have fast forwarded right through that because I don’t even know what it looks like,” Abraham said of her rival. “I think her pink hair took away from the whole dress. It looks like a cheap hooker. I mean if you want to get married like that …” “Your choice then, have fun.” Farrah added that she will not be attending Amber’s fall wedding to Matt Baier (assuming those nuptials aren’t called off again). Abraham says that contrary to what her co-star might say, she is not invited … not that she has interest in being invited FWIW. “Why the hell would I go to somebody’s wedding that writes books about me? That’s a freak show,” she said. “I don’t speak to criminals.” View Slideshow: 37 Dumbest Farrah Abraham Quotes of All Time “She keeps lying,” says Farrah, 25, of the forthcoming Mamber wedding. “They keep lying telling everyone saying that we are invited.” We, presumably, refers to Farrah and Simon Saran, her on-off BF? Or the rest of the OG and Teen Mom 2 cast members collectively? Personally, we can’t see Farrah and Simon getting an invite from AP after the Teen Mom reunion fight that involved their families last year. Either way, Farrah says good riddance: “Honestly, her and her criminal convict or whatever she is into … she can have that in her life and I’m fine being totally separate by that.” Vintage Farrah Abraham Word Salad.
