Derek Lam Claims Ivanka Trump “Blatantly And Intentionally Copied” One Of His Shoes

Sorry Ivanka, but this is pretty bad.

While we’ve been reporting on Ivanka Trump’s shoe line for a while now, we didn’t see this one coming. Acclaimed designer Derek Lam slammed Ivanka Trump with a cease-and-desist letter, giving her mere days to pull her $150 Cadie Wedge (pictured right) off the market, claiming it “blatantly and intentionally copied” his $780 Ayami wedge sandal (pictured left). And just from the looks of it, Lam is clearly in the right—even the designers’ labels look similar.

Do you agree with Lam? Tell us in the comments section.

    looks like a copy – so many lower end shoes are just that though…
