Title: Photographer Estevan Oriol Files Copyright Suit Against H&M, Brandy Melville
Post by: Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi) on August 28, 2013, 12:23:02 PM

Renowned photographer/video director Estevan Oriol has filed a lawsuit against Swedish fashion brand H&M and fashion house Brandy Melville for the use of his copyrighted image known as "L.A. Fingers."

The photo was first used during a 1995 photo session, depicting a female model's long, ring-clad fingers forming the letters "L.A." for Los Angeles. The image has since become iconic and has been legally published worldwide in various magazines and Oriol-branded clothing.

Being a two-pronged action, this resulted in one dismissal for the plaintiff, and one win by default
