Suits aren’t always flattering, even if you’ve got the body of Heidi Klum.
The German star was served with a lawsuit yesterday by luxury jeweler Van Cleef and Arpels, which claims that the supermodel–turned–TV star–turned–jewelry designer copied their vintage clover design.
The high end design house is suing Klum’s company, GmbH, and Mouawad USA, another brand for which she has created items, for upwards of $25,000 worth of damages. Legal papers claim that the mother of two has profited from Van Cleef’s reputation by producing accessory lines similar to the gem corporation’s clover-themed Alhambra line.
Heidi has called the four-leaf flora her favorite symbol of good fortune. “I hope the pieces are true good-luck charms for the women who wear them,” she said at the unveiling of her finery on home shopping network QVC.
Those clovers might be lucky for all you viewers at home. But as for you, Heidi, well, let’s just say, you might want to start searching for another lucky charm.
