Fashion Emergency! Vera Wang Served With Subpoena In Lawsuit Involving Oprah That Could Torpedo Her Fashion Week Runway Show

Bad news for Bridezillas: Breaking Celebrity News has learned that top wedding designer Vera Wang's February 11 fashion week show could be in jeopardy after she was slapped with a surprise subpoena asking her to sit for a deposition! Now, she's filed documents begging a judge to let her off so that she can continue to focus on churning out wedding confections for celebs and normal ladies alike.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, Wang filed a motion in NY court on February 3 asking a judge to quash a subpoena request that was served to her by Simone Kelly-Brown of Own Your Power Communications, who is suing Oprah over Winfrey's use of the term "Own Your Power" at a 2010 event.
Wang attended that event on September 16, 2010, at NYC's Hearst Tower, and so Kelly-Brown wants to know how she was involved with the use of the term in question. But Wang insists she knows nothing.
"I have a limited recollection of the event," the designer says in the documents. "I have attended numerous other similar events during the course of my career, making it difficult to distinguish between them."
