No stranger to the courts, the world-famous star was part of another legal battle in 2013, following the sale of t-shirts in Topshop which had a print of her face on them. Rihanna, who designs for Topshop's rival River Island and two other LA companies, did not give her consent for the t-shirts to have her image on them, and ended up going through the legal system in order to regain control. The offending garment, which went on sale in March 2012, was initially promoted as the Rihanna Tank before Topshop dropped the mention of the singer. But it continued selling the top until it sold out. Luckily for Rihanna, the High Court ruled in her favour, claiming Topshop had duped customers into thinking the singer had authorised the sale of the top. It was ruled that the goodwill of people towards the singer had been damaged, that her merchandising business had lost sales, and the singer had suffered a loss of control over her reputation in the fashion sphere. Is this just a little bit OTT or...?
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
