Rihanna has won a two-year multi-million pound legal battle with Topshop
after they unlawfully used her image on a popular T-shirt sold to
thousands of fans.
She sued Topshop's parent company Arcadia for £3.3million ($5.5million) over the clothing,
In
2013 her legal team successfully argued her fans, who saw her as a
fashion icon, would have falsely thought she had endorsed the garment
sold by the high street fashion store. Today Lord Justice David Kitchin
said:
'People could be deceived into buying the t-shirt perhaps
believing it was authorized by Rihanna.'Topshop sold the t-shirt without
Rihanna's approval and this passed her off.
