Katie begs Katy not to shut down her business

A namesake of pop star Katy Perry - whose upmarket clothes business is under threat because she uses the same name - has begged the star: “Don't shut me down and kill my dream!”


Katie Perry, 28, opened her shop in Sydney, Australia, on June 4 - and five days later, received the first of four letters from Katy's lawyers telling her to stop using her name.


She said: “I'm begging Katy to stop this from happening. Surely she doesn't want to close me down. There's room in the world for both of us. Our names are slightly different anyway.”


As well as being told to stop selling her clothes, which are aimed at women aged 28 to 50, Katie has also been ordered to stop advertising and shut down her website.


“It's been my dream for years to have my own clothing business and I can't believe it's under threat just days after I launched it.


“One of the letters even said I had to shut down by the end of May, though it arrived in June!


“I also donate some of my profits to charity. I hope Katy sees that I'm not ripping her off.


“I'm just using my birth name just like anyone would.” The designer was born Katie Jane Perry.


Singer Katy's record label EMI has released a statement saying it intends to protect her name.
