Earlier this month we learned that Hot Topic has started selling a Twilight Perfume as one of the many merchandising product tie-ins associated with the Twilight movie. As you may recall, the bottle of said perfume had a very distinctive apple shape to it (which, I assume, is meant to refer to the apple that is featured on the cover of the Twilight book). Many Pink readers commented that the bottle looked exactly like the bottle that was created for the 2006 Nina Ricci perfume Nina. Today, we learn that Nina Ricci has decided to file a lawsuit against the makers of the Twilight Perfume for stealing their bottle design:

The makers of a fragrance released to promote hit vampire movie TWILIGHT are facing legal action from a rival cosmetics company for allegedly copying the design of their bottle. Executives at fashion house Nina Ricci are suing the makers of Twilight perfume Forbidden Fruit, which features the movie’s stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart on the box. The bottle itself is in the shape of a red apple and comes decorated with silver leaves and lid – a design said to be almost identical in style to the packaging of Nina Ricci scent Nina.

Oh yeah, they’re busted. Once I learned from Pink readers that the bottles looked similar I check it out to compare and could clearly see that the bottle designs are identical. While I think it is genius for the makers of the Twilight Perfume to make their bottle look like an apple (as a tie-in with the book), I think it was really stupid of them to think they could copy the bottle design from such a well-known fashion house and assume that no one would be the wiser. My guess is that Nina Ricci will win the dispute and the Twilight merchandiser will have to either package their fragrance in a different bottle, come up with their own apple design or scrap the whole endeavor altogether. For the sake of the rabid Twilighters out there who will most likely be spraying this stuff on their pillows so that they can have sweet dreams of Edward Cullen, I hope they opt for one of the first two scenarios. Yeah, saw this lawsuit coming a mile away.

In other news, I wonder when the lawsuits will come from products like THESE cuz, sorry to say, theyr’e kinda too fug to exist.
