Seems that the owner's of Alexander McQueen's label are debating legal action against Cadbury. Yes, Cadbury the well known global chocolate and sweet treat company. No, this isn't a case were they can't slip into their Gucci leggings anymore ala McDonalds vs the fat New Yorker, rather, Gucci is upset about the new Cadbury Flake campaign. The campaign features a woman floating in a billowing gown against a black background as a way to demonstrate the candy's "delicate, wispy layers." Gucci is irked because they believe the imagery hits a little too close to home and looks an awful lot like McQueen's 2006 catwalk background of a Kate Moss hologram floating in an equally billowy dress. The kicker? Both videos were directed by Baillie Walsh. Perhaps he's amidst a creative block and decided to revisit an old idea... You be the judge. See McQueen's video here and Cadbury's here.
