Italian Brand Aquazzura Sues Ivanka Trump Saying She Ripped Off Their Shoe Designs

An Italian shoe designer wants to kick Ivanka Trump to the curb for allegedly stealing its design for a high-end, fringe-toed, tassel-strapped stiletto.

According to a suit filed in federal court, Trump, the model-turned-fashion maven daughter of the Republican presidential frontrunner, appropriated a popular Aquazzura shoe design and slapped on it the same name that adorns failed casinos and high-rise buildings.

"One of the most disturbing things in the fashion industry is when someone blatantly steals your copyright designs and doesn't care," the Aquazzura company said on its Instagram page. " You should know better. Shame on you @ivankatrump! Imitation is NOT the most sincere form of flattery."

At issue is Aquazzura "Wild Thing Shoe," a flaming red statement shoe that was selling for $785.00 at Barney's New York.
