Rhude Faces French Lawsuit Over Monaco-themed Illustration
RUDE AWAKENING: Imagine waking up to your designs on a major musical artist — only to discover they're under someone else's name. That's the gist of a lawsuit filed at the Judicial Court of Paris by French design brand Tokiko against Rhude, the Los Angeles-based streetwear label of Rhuigi Villaseñor, in April. More from WWD Steve Madden Claims 'Adidas Does Not Own All Stripes' in New Lawsuit Hi-Yo, Silver: Architect Harry Nuriev Arrives in Paris' Beaux-Arts District EXCLUSIVE: Fred's New High Jewelry Celebrates Its Early Days and Iconic Yellow Diamond A preliminary audience is slated for June 19 in Paris. According to the filing, the brand discovered videos posted on Jason Derulo's Instagram account in June 2024 that featured the singer sporting a black-and-white printed set by Rhude, composed of a short-sleeve shirt and shorts. Part of the American brand's spring 2024 collection, the motif dubbed 'Strada' was used on four pieces, which include a long-sleeve shirt and matching trousers. The point of contention is the print, which figures a stylized map of Monaco with its major landmarks and remarkable avenues labeled in capitals. The French company, which specialises in decorative objects including posters and home goods, alleges that the one used by Rhude is a counterfeit of the 'Monaco Grand Prix' illustration that it has been selling since 2022, a design created by Tokiko cofounder and illustrator Anna Skoog. Contacted by WWD, a publicist for the American brand said it had no comment. Court documents provide side-by-side close-ups of the motif on Rhude's clothing and Tokiko's print, as well as those who have been spotted in the so-called infringing items such as Derulo, professional skateboarder Kyjah and TikTok dance sensation Hugo Hilaire. Tokiko also says in the filing that it sent cease-and-desist notices to Rhude and the RVRG Holdings LLC company, without getting a response. The garments the French brand deemed infringing were subsequently no longer on Rhude's website but remained available at a number of retailers, including Ssense and Fwrd, which still offer them for sale. Rhude is also accused of putting the garments in question back on sale on Rhude Bowl, its archival item platform. With its lawsuit, Tokiko is pursuing damages for economic losses, moral harm and parasitic exploitation, totaling 850,000 euros. Skoog is additionally independently seeking 50,000 euros for violation of her moral rights as the illustration's creator. Further requests from the French brand and the illustrator include the destruction of unsold inventory and recall of infringing products as well as the publication of the judgment on Rhude's homepage and in two media outlets in the fashion industry of Tokiko and Skoog's choosing.

Italian MPs Rally at Egypt's Gaza Border Against Genocide
A group of Italian parliamentarians rallied on Sunday in front of Egypt's Rafah border crossing with Gaza, urging the international community to put an end to Israel's genocide in Gaza and allow the entry of humanitarian aid, according to AFP. The group consisted of 11 members of the Italian parliament, three MEPs as well as representatives of NGOs. They raised signs reading 'Stop genocide now', 'End illegal occupation' and 'Stop arming Israel'. 'Europe is not doing enough, nothing to stop the massacre,' Cecilia Strada, an Italian member of the European parliament, told AFP. The demonstrators also placed toys on the ground in solidarity with Gaza's children, who are currently facing 'a growing risk of starvation, illness and death' more than two months into a total Israeli aid blockade. 'There should be a complete embargo on weapons to and from Israel and a stop to trade with illegal settlements,' Strada said. Wide Condemnation Recently, UN and international community have pressed on Israel to immediately end its aid blockade, condemning critical shortages of food, clean water, fuel and medicines. 'We hear the bombs right now. The Israeli army continues to do what it believes is right in the face of an international community that does not intervene, and in Gaza, beyond the Rafah crossing border, people continue to die,' Walter Massa, president of Italian non-profit organization Associazione Ricreativa Culturale Italiana, said. Meanwhile, Italian government on Saturday repeated its calls to Israel to stop its airstrikes in Gaza, with Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani saying: 'Enough with the attacks. We no longer want to see the Palestinian people suffer.' Since the beginning of Hamas-Israel War in Gaza in 2023, the Israeli strikes have killed at least 53,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 118,000, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

Italian MPs protest at Egypt's Gaza border against war
RAFAH (Egypt): Italian parliamentarians protested on Sunday in front of Egypt's Rafah border crossing with Gaza, calling for aid access and an end to the war in the devastated Palestinian territory. 'Europe is not doing enough, nothing to stop the massacre,' Cecilia Strada, an Italian member of the European parliament, told AFP. The group — including 11 members of the Italian parliament, three MEPs and representatives of NGOs — held signs reading 'Stop genocide now', 'End illegal occupation' and 'Stop arming Israel'. 'There should be a complete embargo on weapons to and from Israel and a stop to trade with illegal settlements,' Strada said. The protesters laid toys on the ground in solidarity with Gaza's children, who the UN warns face 'a growing risk of starvation, illness and death' more than two months into a total Israeli aid blockade. At least 15,000 children have been killed in Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023, according to the United Nations. Israel has faced mounting pressure to lift its aid blockade, as UN agencies warn of critical shortages of food, clean water, fuel and medicines. It resumed its offensive on March 18, ending a two-month truce in its war against Hamas triggered by the Palestinian militant group's October 2023 attack on Israel. On Saturday Israel announced an expanded military campaign, killing dozens of people in new strikes. 'We hear the bombs right now,' Walter Massa, president of Italian non-profit organisation Associazione Ricreativa Culturale Italiana, told AFP near the crossing. 'The Israeli army continues to do what it believes is right in the face of an international community that does not intervene, and in Gaza, beyond the Rafah crossing border, people continue to die,' he said. UN chief Antonio Guterres said Saturday said he was 'alarmed' at the escalation and called for 'a permanent ceasefire, now'. Italy's government on Saturday reiterated its calls to Israel to stop attacking Gaza, with Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani saying: 'Enough with the attacks.' 'We no longer want to see the Palestinian people suffer,' Tajani said. Gaza's health ministry said Sunday 3,193 people have been killed since Israel resumed its strikes on March 18, taking the war's overall toll to 53,339.
