Aquazzura say Trump’s shoe copied “nearly every detail of the ‘Wild Thing’ from the shape and silhouette to the fringe covering the toes, to the tassel on the heel.” They also say it’s not the first time that Trump had copied their designs; the lawsuit mentions two other shoe designs which they claim Trump copied.

Forrest did put limits on Trump’s deposition, saying it can last no more than two hours because of her “competing professional obligations.” The judge also said the testimony can be given in Washington, DC if Trump wishes.

"I had no involvement in the conception, design, production or sale of the 'Hettie Shoe,’” Trump said in a declaration filed with the court last week. She claimed that the company's licensee, Marc Fisher, was responsible for those areas. Marc Fisher is also being sued as part of the suit.

"My involvement was strictly limited to the final sign-off of each season's line after it was first reviewed and approved by the company's design team,” Trump said.

However Aquazzura cited earlier statements made by Trump, including one in which she reportedly said: "There's not a shoe I'm not intimately involved in designing.”

President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, has been ordered to testify in a dispute with a Italian designer shoemaker who claims her company copied one of their designs.

District Judge Katherine Forrest says the businesswoman and presidential adviser must give evidence in the case, dismissing pleas for an exemptiont due to due to her “exceptional circumstances” as a “high-ranking government official”.

Perhaps she is unaware that she does not have any exemption to be in court due to her place or position in employment.
