Ferrari is no stranger to lawsuits and has been very protective of its brand’s image in the past. In 2019 representatives threatened to sue Italian fashion designer Philipp Plein for posing his shoes next to his own personal Ferrari vehicle and posting it on Instagram. They claimed it tarnished their brand’s reputation and accused Plein of using their brand to promote his own business. Plein lost the lawsuit and was ordered to pay 300,000 euros ($355,000) in damages.
