This episode is all about Yves Saint Laurent, I begin with some brief history of the Yves Saint Laurent fashion house and then discuss the case of a company selling t-shirts and other apparel with the slogan "Ain't Laurent Without Yves" on the front when the Yves Saint Laurent fashion house dropped the "Yves" from it's name - much to Saint Laurent's dismay. Then, I conduct my legal analysis into the famous case of Christian Louboutin v. Yves Saint Laurent over the famed red-soled shoes. Thank you for listening and enjoy!
