Diaz v. DVF Studio, LLC

What this case is about

Consumers are suing DVF Studio, the fashion brand founded by Diane von Furstenberg, alleging that the company deceived shoppers with misleading pricing practices. The plaintiffs claim that DVF advertised fake or inflated original prices on its products, making discounts appear larger than they actually were. In other words, items were never genuinely sold at the higher 'original' prices, so the supposed markdowns were illusory. Shoppers allege they were tricked into believing they were getting a significant deal when the discount was not real. The proposed class includes consumers who purchased DVF products at what were advertised as reduced or sale prices during a specified period, believing they were receiving a genuine bargain based on the company's pricing representations.
