Brooklyn designer Haleh Nematzadeh is suing Yoko Ono for allegedly copying her Spring 2013 fetish-inspired collection while designing her menswear line for Opening Ceremony. Both collections feature handprints over the wearer's crotch or chest region, sheer fabric, and nip slips/tassels. Nametzadeh told the New York Post that she met with OC photographers in hopes of getting the collection in the spring catalogue, but the photographers took them to Yoko's design team who then produced knock-offs.

Thankfully, one look at Yoko's 1969 wedding present to John Lennon titled "Fashions for Men" and a little carbon dating should set the record straight. If not, get set for the most pun-ready lawsuit of all time. And either way, it's a great excuse to watch this video again.
