Louis Vuitton have been at the other side of copyright infringement this week as they apologise for using the work of an artist without permission.

Just a week after winning a lawsuit against Britney Spears LV bosses apologised to artist Anthon Beeke for using his "Naked Ladies Alphabet" without his consent.

The naked ladies were bent into the shape of the fashion house's name by artist Vanessa Beecroft for the Espace Louis Vuitton structure. The 4,300-square-foot space on top of the Champs-Elysées store displayed the design to Paris shoppers.

According to WWD, both Beecroft and Louis Vuitton have apologised to the Dutch graphic designer and will cease to use any images that may infringe on the artist's copyright.

The French fashion house won a $117,000 cash settlement and the rights to have a Britney Spears ‘Do Somethin’ video banned from future use after it was agreed, last week, it infringed copyright by featuring the label's trademark print.
