Rod Stewart facing lawsuit filed by a Designer

Tweet

Music icon Rod Stewart is facing a small problem in the wardrobe department! A designer filed a lawsuit at L.A. Small Claims Court against Stewart after failing to pay $7,500 worth of clothes.

Designer Karen Mathews claims that Stewart ordered clothes for several events in 2007, including his wedding to model Penny Lancaster ... but never fully covered the damage.

Karen's rep tells TMZ, “The clothes were never payed for in full and [Rod] kept the rest of the clothes without ever returning what hadn’t been payed for" -- adding, Karen hasn't had a problem like this in 30 years ... which "speaks for itself.”

But according to Stewart, he is not interested of paying up a bad design.

Stewart's rep. says, "[Stewart's wedding suit] wasn't produced on time and was ill-fitting and totally unusable. He had to buy a proper suit at the last minute."
