Fashion For Human Rights - Darfur Organization Spoofs Louis Vuitton, Gets Sued


Click any photo for a larger image.
Danish artist Nadia Plesner is getting sued by Louis Vuitton for using the name and logo of the French fashion house in a defamatory fashion line. Plesner, who runs the Simple Living campaign in support of the victims of Darfur, sells products with images of a naked child carrying a Louis Vuitton-style bag in one arm, and a chihuahua under the other, a la Paris Hilton, to benefit the Divest for Darfur organization. On February 13, 2008, I received a letter from Louis Vuitton’s main office in Paris, asking me firmly to end the campaign immediately, as they believe one of their products is being portrayed in the art piece. They refer to my website as ”Exhibit 1”. However, I stand up for my artistic freedom to express my view of the world as I see it without restrictions from anybody. On February 20, 2008, I informed Louis Vuitton’s Intellectual Property Director that I intend to continue my campaign to support the victims of Darfur. On April 15, 2008, I received a lawsuit from Louis Vuitton. (nadiaplesner)
