Zeds Dead Accuse Versace of Ripping Off Merchandise Design

AI Chat - Image Generator:

Zeds Dead have publicly accused luxury fashion house Versace of appropriating their merchandise designs without permission or attribution.

In a post on X, the influential dubstep duo on Thursday shared side-by-side images comparing a design from their 2018 tour with recent Versace apparel.

“Versace ripped off our merch designs,” Zeds Dead wrote, drawing attention to multiple Versace pieces, including t-shirts and sweatpants.

The similarities are striking, as both designs appear to feature nearly identical typography and fonts with indistinguishable color schemes. Moreover, the central imagery of Zeds Dead’s original merchandise features a coiled snake while a Versace tee seems to substitute a roaring tiger.

Efforts by EDM.com to reach Versace for comment were unsuccessful prior to this article’s publication.

Miley Cyrus has revealed the first trailer for the film companion to her upcoming album Something Beautiful, which is due May 30 from Columbia Records. The “one-of-a-kind cinematic experience” will take place for one night only in North America on June 12, with an international release to follow on June 26 from Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision.

Directed by Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter, Something Beautiful will premiere June 6 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. It was produced by Cyrus, XYZ Films and Panos Cosmatos.

More from Spin:

Cyrus calls Something Beautiful “my dream project come true — fashion, film and original music coexisting in harmony. My co-creators are all geniuses in their own right: from the masters of sound, Shawn Everett and Alan Meyerson, to one of cinema’s most unique directors, Panos Cosmatos, serving as a producer. Each collaborator has used their expertise to make this fantasy a reality.”

As for the 13-track proper album version of Something Beautiful, it includes guest appearances by Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard and model Naomi Campbell. The pre-release single “End of the World” has performed the best of several other previews, having garnered nearly 50 million Spotify streams so far.

Something Beautiful is the follow-up to 2023’s Endless Summer Vacation, which hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200. It spawned the monster chart-topping single “Flowers,” which won Record of the Year and Best Solo Pop Performance at the 2024 Grammys.

Darude is ringing in 25 years of “Sandstorm” by turning Helsinki into a real-life playground for fans of the track that defined a generation. 

The event, simply dubbed the “Sandstorm Run,” invites participants to jog, sprint or stride along a six-kilometer route mapped directly through the sites made famous in the track’s iconic turn-of-the-century music video.

Scheduled for August 31st, just under a week before the Finnish leg of Darude’s “STORM 25 World Tour,” the run starts and ends in Kaivopuisto, a coastal park that locals and longtime fans will recognize from the video’s early chase scene. From there, runners will make their way through southern Helsinki, including a pass by the steps of the Helsinki Cathedral.

Darude himself will be onsite for the event, cheering participants on and serving as a judge for its costume contest, which encourages runners to dress in the spirit of the “Sandstorm” video. Prizes for the best outfits—awarded in individual, pair and team categories—include a meet-and-greet with Darude, group photo and tickets to the “STORM 25” concert at Kattilahalli.

“It’s amazing to celebrate my career right where it all began,” Darude said in a statement. “The ‘Sandstorm’ video is still watched around the world, and it’s incredible to see it come alive again through the runners. I hope as many people as possible join us to have fun and get moving.”

The event is being organized by Vauhtisammakko, a local fitness services company. Early-bird registration is available through June 30th for €39, with standard pricing kicking in July 1st at €59.
