15 biggest fashion lawsuit battles that had entire industry on toes

14. H&M vs. Artist

Trending

H&M was sent a 'cease-and-desist' letter by a Swedish artist in 2018, per the Washington Post, who asserted that his artwork had been infringed on by the fashion retailer. According to him, the firm had reproduced his designs on several products but did not license those works or compensate him in return. After this H&M sued Revok (the artist) alleging that since the artist's work was done illegally, it could not be protected with copyright. Per Revok's Instagram post in September of the same year, the two parties settled the case and decided to make contributions to art organizations.
