A former Dragons' Den winner who made a fortune from fashionable hi-vis horse riding gear is locked in a court fight with a rival firm over whether they 'copied' her designs.
Equestrian fashion designer Nicola Fletcher - dubbed 'the queen of hi-vis' - outside London's High Court ' exhibited three products alleged to infringe the claimant's copyright at the Beta International Show 2022,' explained Woofwear's KC, Michael Hicks. The company's barrister said that her case must fail unless she can prove that the pieces are artistic rather than work wear, and that in any event some of her designs pre-dated the launch of Equisafety.
