The Nude Review: Stella’s Court Battle

August 12, 2009  12:30 pm


Stella McCartney’s StellaNude fragrance is a delicate eau de toilette version of her Stella perfume and apparently the subject of a new lawsuit. According to London’s Daily Mail, the founders of Nude skincare—Ali Hewson (a.k.a. Mrs. Bono) and her partner Bryan Meehan, the man behind the U.K.’s Fresh & Wild natural grocery chain—are suing McCartney over the use of the word nude in the scent, intimating that it is a deliberate bite off of their branding. The whole thing seems slightly absurd to us, seeing as how the term itself is so widely used throughout the beauty and fashion industries already, not to mention the fact that McCartney’s Fall 2009 collection was full of exquisite sheer silk tulle paneling that gave the illusion of nude skin covered in lace. But no matter; Hewson and Meehan are for real. In a statement obtained by Cosmetics International, L’Oréal, which bought Stella McCartney Parfums from YSL Beauté last year, confirmed that it had been served with the lawsuit last week. Best of luck to you, Stella.

  1. That’s a really stupid lawsuit. They didn’t create the word nude.
