Ferrari has been known to be quite protective of its image, and when designer Philipp Plein posted an image of sneakers on his Ferrari to Instagram, the automaker wasn’t happy to say the least. Ferrari’s lawyer Fabrizio Sanna of Orsingher Ortu Avvocati Associati claims that Plein’s usage of images featuring Ferrari’s prized trademarks associates Ferrari “with a lifestyle [that is] totally inconsistent with [its] brand perception.”
Does Ferrari have a case against Plein? Well, Carmine Rotondaro, an independent legal adviser to Plein, called the automaker’s accusations “totally baseless.” Plein then responded by saying that this is a fight for our right to post on our private social media accounts whatever we decide (as long as it does not cause any harm to anybody).
