HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Madonna is being sued over her Material Girl clothing line, just weeks after the collection launched exclusively at Macy's.
Apparel manufacturer L.A. Triumph filed the lawsuit Thursday in California, claiming it has been "continually selling similar clothes in similar retail outlets at similar price points under their Material Girl brand since at least 1997, and Madonna and her newfound company do not have the right to trade in the same space under this brand," according to Reuters.
L.A. Triumph reportedly wants the judge to rule that Madonna's use of "Material Girl" creates "deception" in the marketplace. The fashion firm also wants Madonna to fork over all profits from the line.
Madonna teamed up with her 13 year-old daughter Lourdes to design the 1980s inspired clothing line, which launched Aug. 3. Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen is the face of the brand.
