Moschino settles lawsuit over Katy Perry dress

Moschino has settled the copyright lawsuit filed by Brooklyn graffiti artist ­Joseph Tierney — aka Rime — over designs used by the fashion brand on Katy Perry’s 2015 Met Gala gown, which also debuted on the runway that year on Gigi Hadid in Milan.

The label’s creative director and designer Jeremy Scott had filed motions to dismiss, claiming he “had no role whatsoever in the actual design and selection” of images for the gown, and he called street art “an unapologetic act of vandalism and trespass.”

In another motion, Scott’s legal team had bizarrely likened Tierney to the Black Dahlia killer.

“I am glad the case is settled,” Tierney said in a statement. “I am very satisfied with the outcome. Modern graffiti is a form of art that deserves the same respect and legal protection that other forms of expression are entitled to.”

The graphics used on the dress appeared on Tierney’s 2012 mural in Detroit called “Vandal Eyes.”

His work has also been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. The suit was filed last year.
