L.A Triumph filed a lawsuit against the pop superstar in the California Central District court on Thursday, just two weeks after the Madonna line went on sale in Macy's.

The company said in its suit that 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."Madonna teamed up with her 13 year-old daughter Lourdes to design the 1980s inspired clothing line, which borrows from the pop star's punk-girl style when she rose to fame in the 1980s and earned the moniker, material girl.

Anna Wintour will sign T-shirts, the Olsen twins will judge karaoke, etc, etc... But what about Boston?

Fashion's Night Out: Boston style

There are just a few things happening in here. Neiman Marcus in Natick hosts a party from 6 to 9 with stylists, beer tastings, and trend presentations. Saks Fifth Avenue at the Prudential is going rock and roll with live music, a denim fashion show, and a 15 percent off shopping pass for the night. There are a smattering of other events that you can read about here. But it would certainly be nice to see more stores have fun with the night next year. Boston is not New York, but we have plenty of stylish and creative folks who could easily pull together some creative events.

]]> War photographer Pellegrin takes a shot at fashion http://FashionTrail.com/article.asp?articleid=96396 Tue, 7 Sep 2010 08:58 GMT http://FashionTrail.com/article.asp?articleid=96396 Award winning photographer Paolo Pellegrin has documented many of the world's danger zones from Lebanon to Kosovo and Rwanda to Haiti.

In 1995, his stunning reportage on AIDS in Uganda received the World Press and the Kodak Young Photographer Awards.

The Italian-born snapper has published six books, of which -- "As I Was Dying" -- brought together his moving images of human suffering in war zones and in natural disasters.

Now, the 46 year-old Pellegrin, who joined Magnum in 2005, has curated and shot this year's edition of the photo agency's fashion magazine called "Storm."

The end result is a raw and ghostly vision of the future of our planet through a collection of eerie landscapes from New York to Iceland and Siberia and unconventional fashion shoots.

]]> Lanvin is H&M's newest partner http://FashionTrail.com/article.asp?articleid=96224 Mon, 6 Sep 2010 06:53 GMT http://FashionTrail.com/article.asp?articleid=96224 Lanvin is H&M's newest partnerLanvin will be the next high-fashion house to become a partner of fast-fashion retailer H&M. The joint collection, featuring womenswear and menswear, will go on sale Nov. 20 in North America and then to the rest of the world three days later.

"H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public," said Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin.  Elbaz will oversee design with menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver.

]]> Hugh Grant shares fashion tipsc http://FashionTrail.com/article.asp?articleid=96143 Sun, 5 Sep 2010 18:16 GMT http://FashionTrail.com/article.asp?articleid=96143 Hugh Grant thinks it's "terrible" when people in their forties dress like teenagers. The 49-year-old British actor is famed for his classic English style, shunning trends in fashion to stick to his trademark polo shirts, chinos and cashmere pullovers. Hugh says he finds it embarrassing when his peers try to look stylish, admitting he prefers to dress his age.

"I think there is a tendency for all of us over 30 to dress too young. You walk down the street in New York or in London and all you see is people dressed as teenagers when they're in their forties. I think that's terrible," he told the British edition of OK! magazine.

]]> Men's Fashion Week low on glamour http://FashionTrail.com/article.asp?articleid=95813 Thu, 2 Sep 2010 11:12 GMT http://FashionTrail.com/article.asp?articleid=95813 Men's Fashion Week low on glamourIt was more work and less play at the second edition of the Van Heusen India Men's Week that showcased a concentrated umbrella of pret lines under as many as 16 labels and, barring some exceptions, kept the usual Bollywood octane off the premises and the ramp. While some missed the film fraternity's extended presence, the organisers and exhibitors had their chins up for the peg on the work than the glitz - which saw only a handful of the B-Town overdose. “The main focus this time was more on the designer's creations than anything else," Sunil Sethi, president of event organiser Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), told IANS.Where day one kicked off with a technical snag that delayed Narendra 'Nari' Kumar Ahmed's Samurai inspired collection waiting backstage for one-and-half hours, the event picked up momentum over the weekend until Rohit 'Gudda' Bal closed the week in grandeur with his “Sharaarat” line.  

“It is time to change direction and propose a new kind of style for the Indian male,” said Nari.

The high points of the men's week included designer brothers Shantanu and Nikhil's deforestation-inspired collection - experimental enough to bring the Indian male in an exaggeration of a floral drape sherwanis and skirts. Then, there were low crotch hot pants by Vijay Arora, the Robert Vadra inspired 1970s English line by Ashish N. Soni, cargo jodhpurs by Rajesh Pratap Singh - and not to forget Anarkalis for men by Gudda.

Sisters Kim, 29, Kourtney, 31, and Khloe, 25, and their mom Kris all got dolled up to the nines to attend the Super Saturday 13 in the Hamptons, New York yesterday.
