Yoko Ono sued over fashion inspired by her husband John Lennon

a New York designer, who alleges that the 80-year-old artist copied her work for a new fashion range supposedly inspired by John Lennon.

Haleh Nematzadeh a 36-year-old Iranian-American claims that the "1969-2012" menswear series features motifs from her own designs, which she had submitted to a retailer now selling Ms Ono's clothes.

Ms Ono has said that the range – which features $335 trousers (£220) and $200 jock straps – was influenced by a set of drawings that she gave Lennon as a present when they married in 1969.

She alleges that Opening Ceremony and Ms Ono lifted her designs for their range without consulting her or giving her credit, and dismisses Ms Ono's "feeble attempt" to explain her influences.
