Louis Vuitton sues art student over Darfur design
A Danish art student has been sued by French fashion giant Louis Vuitton over an image she created to bring attention to the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region.
Nadia Plesner has produced a design featuring a black child holding a tiny dog and a trademark patterned Louis Vuitton handbag. It's reproduced on Tshirts and posters she's created.
"Everyone knows the image of a small starving black child. We have seen it so many times now, but it doesn't work anymore," said the 26yearold, who studies in Amsterdam. Tshirts cost 35 ($54 CDN) while the poster are 13 ($20 CDN).
Plesner says the image is meant to mock the media's obsession with show business at the expense of other global issues.
"I don't want to change the bag but I need to discuss with my lawyers what can we do," she said.
She said profits were going to the Divest for Darfur campaign, which hopes to use economic pressure on the Sudanese government to cooperate with international efforts to end the violence.
Plesner has plans to meet Louis Vuitton executives in Paris on May 30. She says she wants to convince them to work with her.
