Laura Jane Grace: Topshop Selling $700 Against Me! Leather Jacket Without Permission

Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace has taken issue with British fashion retailer Topshop for apparently selling a leather jacket featuring the band’s name on one sleeve, without prior constent from the band. “Hey Topshop, you’re selling a $700 leather jacket with my band’s name on it, and you have no permission,” she said in a tweet. “Not cool.” In a subsequent response to a fan inquiring about the trademarked words, Grace replied, “‘Against Me!’ is a trademark that I in fact legally own.” Spin reports that the jacket was also being sold online on Topshop’s website, but the listing for it has been taken down. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives from Topshop for comment.
