Hells Angels Are Suing Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen "Hells Four Finger Ring"

According to reports the Hells Angels Motorscycle Club/Gang has filed a lawsuit against Alexander McQueen and retailers like Zappos and Saks Fifth Avenue claiming they produced and sold items carrying the trademarked Hells Angels winged death head design.

What’s the issue here?

“If you’ve got one of these rings on, a member might get really upset that you’re an imposter,” says a Hells Angel member.

Representatives for PPR Gucci Group (owners of Mcqueen), Zappos and Saks Fifth Avenue have yet to release a statement.

After being appointed Creative Director of the brand, Sarah Burton debuted a flawless Alexander McQueen collection, the first one created after his death. She stayed true to McQueen with hints of darkness and a Victorian meets Samurai vibe. We think she was the right person for the job, do you?

Philip Treacy Wants Brad Pitt to Play Him in Isabella Blow Flick

LFW 2009 - Hats: An Anthology By Stephen Jones - Private View Arrivals

Now is that right? Hat maker extraordinaire, Philip Treacy, wants Brad Pitt to portray him in the biopic about his friend/ muse to McQueen, Isabella Blow.

“I am trying desperately to forget that someone will actually have to play me in this film. I would never want to appear in it myself- I am a hat designer not an actor. Acting isn’t my forte. If I could pick anyone I’d run with Brad Pitt but it’s wishful thinking and perhaps not very likely I know”, Treacy told Vogue.

We don’t know about Brad Pitt? I can think of a bunch of actors that are better suited physically, but I am so drawing a blank right now, don’t even try to crank it out of me.

While that wish may be up in the air, Treacy did confirmed that the film is to be written by Max Nesome and produced by Anders Palm.

Alexander McQueen Was Having Money Probs

Alexander McQueen: Paris Fashion Week Ready-to-Wear A/W 09

According to reports Alexander McQueen was having a hard time turning a profit. Although his ten year old line was a hit with Hollywood and the fashion world, the brand still couldn’t return on it’s investment.

If his brand is having a hard time, who knows what other designers are going through. It’s already difficult to get your name out there, get investors, and hope to see a profit but on top of it, we’ve got this crappy economy to deal with.
