Cardi B threatened with legal action over Marge Simpson Halloween costume
completemusicupdate.comCardi B has been threatened with legal action over her recreation of an image of Marge Simpson as part of a Halloween photoshoot.
Not by the makers of ‘The Simpsons’, though, as you might be thinking. The lawsuit comes from Italian artist Alexsandro Palombo, whose own drawing of Marge Simpson was used as the reference for the Cardi B shot.If you’re already a bit confused, I apologise, I’m about to introduce several more layers to this.Palombo created his image of Marge Simpson in 2013, showing the cartoon character wearing a bottom-revealing dress designed by Thierry Mugler.
His drawing was in turn based on a photograph in which model Violetta Sanchez is seen wearing said dress on the catwalk in 1995.Now the artist says that he is planning to launch a lawsuit against Cardi B over her photograph in which she recreates the Marge/Mugler mash up.
The issue, he says, is that while she included his drawing in a collection of images shared alongside her picture on Instagram, she did not actually credit him – saying only in the caption that her photo was “Mugler inspired”.Palombo’s original image was created as part of his Marge Simpson Style Icon series, first published by Vogue in 2013.
