Louis Vuitton Sues Charity

louis_vuitton_artist_photo_bluefly_blog_flypaper.jpgWow, this is one for the books. In its recent mission to stop all fake-making "inspired" by their designs, Louis Vuitton recently sued (for around $22,000 per day) a student artist, Nadia Plesner, over her "Simple Living" campaign, a fundraiser that benefits the Divest for Darfur organization. The mascot of the campaign is a Darfur victim toting a teacup pooch and an LV-inspired bag, to prove that a Paris Hilton-centric image would get more media attention than real-life Darfur victims. Unfortunately, she was right and though 100% of the profits go to Darfur victims, LV ain't having it. Fashionistas, this is not a good look.
