The manager of an historic pub in southern England received a framed letter of apology from Conde Nast this week, after lawyers at the publishing giant threatened to sue him over the name of his bar — the Star Inn at Vogue.When lawyers sent pub manager Mark Graham a cease and desist letter, complaining that the name of his bar could be confused with the British version of the glossy fashion magazine earlier this month, Graham sprang into action and sent off his own note to the magazine publisher.“I note in your letter that you have only been in existence since 1916 and I presume that at the time when you chose the name Vogue in the capitalized version you didn’t seek permission from the villagers of the real Vogue,” Graham wrote.
