Nude was created as a pioneering natural skincare range and is known for its innovative use of pre and pro biotic.
Stella, daughter of former Beatle Sir Paul, is due to release her new fragrance Stella Nude imminently – but Nude Skincare, run by eco-entrepreneur Bryan Meehan and Bono’s wife Ali Hewson, described as an "investor and muse" of the company, are believed to be unhappy about her decision to use "nude" in the title of her fragrance.
Stella McCartney is being sued by Nude Skincare after she named her newest fragrance offering, StellaNude. "Nude considers the launch of ‘Stella Nude’ by L’Oreal to be a clear infringement of Nude’s trade mark. To protect their brand, Nude was forced to take the matter to the English High Court,” said Nude’s spokesmen.
“We can confirm that proceedings have been issued by Nude brands against both YSL Beaute, the licensee for our fragrance and beauty business, and Stella McCartney Limited,” a spokesperson said.
On August 20th, the High Court confirmed that Nude has a clearly arguable claim of trade mark infringement against the Stella Nude perfume.
