Concussed Cosmo Editor Wants DVF To Pay Up!

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Legal Matters Diane von Furstenberg Cosmo

Karen Larrain, Fashion and accessories market editor for girly mag Cosmopolitan, is still wanting her money trying to settle a lawsuit from a freak accident that occurred at a Diane von Furstenberg fashion show.

The editor was in the audience back in September of 2005 when a light fixture randomly fell on her head and left her with a concussion.

Diane apologized and sent over flowers, but apparently that wasn't enough for Karen and now she wants justice.

Larrain's lawyer said in a statement:

"Although everyone acknowledged that Karen was the victim, [she] still awaits recovery. Rather than making a fair offer to resolve her claims, [DVF's] attorneys keep adding additional parties and spending substantial time and money taking testimony of the many different people and businesses employed in the production and hosting of the show."

DVF's rep responded with "We were not aware of this, and we'll certainly speak to our insurers to find out what happened."

Sounds to us like someone just wants money.
