Topshop has been accused of printing a band’s name on a leather jacket without permission.
‘Against Me!’ frontwoman Laura Jane Grace shared a photo of the jacket on Twitter on Saturday 17 September, with the caption:
“Hey @Topshop, you’re selling a $700 leather jacket with my bands name on it and you have no permission. Not cool.”
Responding to questions on Twitter, Grace explained ‘Against Me!’ is a trademark she “legally owns” and added that: “Even the font they used is stolen.”
The Huffingotn Post UK asked Topshop for their response to Grace’s allegations.
A spokesperson said: “We are looking into this and in the meantime we have removed the product from topshop.com and are currently in the process of withdrawing from stores.”
This isn’t the first time Topshop has been embroiled in a dispute with a musician.
In January 2015 Rihanna won a legal battle against the high street chain after they stocked a T-shirt featuring a photograph of her without her consent.
