Nirvana and Marc Jacobs International have resolved their legal dispute over the fashion brand’s use of a logo similar to Nirvana’s iconic smiley face.
Back in 2018, Nirvana took legal action against Marc Jacobs after the fashion house released its “Redux Grunge” collection, which included a sweatshirt featuring a smiley face that looked very much like Nirvana’s famous logo. The band’s lawyers claimed that Marc Jacobs intentionally used this image to promote their products and make the entire collection seem more connected to the grunge movement, making it appear more genuine.
I think it’s interesting how music and fashion often clash in court.
The exact details of the settlement weren’t shared in court papers.
