Victoria, B. C. fashion show gets the message from Vogue magazine: Don't mess with us

The long arm of Conde Nast reached out and smacked a Victoria, B.C. fashion show that it says breached the trademark of iconic Vogue magazine. According to a story in the Vancouver Sun, Victoria Fashion's Night Out heard from the Vogue lawyers that it's name infringed on the Fashion Night Out event it ran last year in New York City -- and which it intends to roll out to cities around the world.

The organizers of the Victoria event hurriedly renamed the show Victoria's Fashion Night, said their lawyer, David Mulroney.
