Chanel has a court date with a 61-year-old seamstress from France, Carmen Colle, who runs World Tricot (an ethical hand made clothing company employing refugees) working with Dior, Gaultier, Givenchy. She claims Chanel stole a crochet pattern from her and wants $3,7 Million in damages. Aux armes! (The Cut)
