Yoko Ono is being sued by a New York fashion designer who is accusing John Lennon’s widow of shamelessly ripping off her new fetish-inspired clothing line.<\/p>\n

Ms Ono, 80, claims her men’s range, which includes jock straps and thigh-high boots, is a tribute to the late Beatles singer.<\/p>\n

But designer Haleh Nematzadeh, 36, from Brooklyn, claims Ms Ono’s design team saw her sketches for a new women’s line, tweaked them and then produced the men’s clothing range without permission.<\/p>\n

Both lines feature see-through garments and items with suggestive hand-prints around the crotch and chest areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ms Nematzadeh, who owns her own clothing company Smashing Starlets, in Brunswick, said Ms Ono’s team ‘took everything with no shame’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She said she had met photographers from retailer Opening Ceremony and that they were supposed to return to photograph the clothes.<\/p>\n

But she claims they went to Ms Ono’s team, with her Fashion For Men 1969-2012 now available on Open Ceremony’s website.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Looks pretty darn close!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
