Todd Oldham vs. Old Navy: Appeals Court Rules in Favor of Oldham, Case Will Proceed

In this corner, the ebullient and widely loved designer, author, and television personality Todd Oldham. And in this corner, the San Francisco-based retail giant Gap, Inc., which yesterday reported yet another month of sagging global sales. The two parties shook hands back in September 2007, when they inked an agreement to make Oldham creative director of the Old Navy brand. A couple of years later, they came out fighting after Oldham sued the company for flaking on its deal, which included a licensing agreement for a Todd Oldham-branded line of clothing to be sold exclusively in Old Navy stores.
