Vogue magazine threatens to sue Cornish village pub of the same name

A bemused publican in the tiny Cornish town of Vogue was shocked to get a 'cease and desist' letter from one of the biggest fashion magazines in the world over their use of the name 'Vogue'.

The letter, which was sent to the Star Inn at Vogue - a 200-year-old pub - by Vogue magazine's owner Condé Nast, called on them to stop using the name as it might confuse the public. .

The letter asked publicans Mark and Rachel Graham to stop using the name of the Cornish hamlet because it might confuse Vogue's readers - who might associate the glossy magazine with the Cornish village boozer in a village, reports CornwallLive.
