Louboutin trademark red-soled stilletos banned in Belgian poster
Christian Louboutin has won a legal battle to prevent images of his shoes, with their trademarked re sole, appearing in an advert in Belgium.
The poster has now been banned
The image has been used by the far-right Vlaams Belang.
The poster drawn criticism for its message which is perceived as anti-Islamic by some.
At intervals along the length of the leg, phrases are marked including "Sharia compatible" and "stoning".
The legs on the poster belong to Anke Van dermeersch, a senator from the party, a former Miss Belgium.
A Dutch judge has ruled that the posters are to be taken down within 24 hours.
Louboutin said that the advert tarnished his brand’s image.
The party has substituted similar posters without the distinctive Louboutin sole.
