Danish artist Nadia Plesner created these t-shirts to benefit Divest for Darfur, and now she’s being sued by Louis Vuitton for trademark infringement, even though her beef is not with the luxury brand, but with the media:
“Since doing nothing but wearing designerbags and small ugly dogs appearantly is enough to get you on a magasine cover, maybe it is worth a try for people who actually deserves and needs attention.”
The lawsuit is still in process, and could potentially be very costly, but it is bringing extra attention to the Save Darfur cause.
Now the most important question: Is Paris Hilton more upset by the appropriation of her image or the fact that Nadia found someone skinnier than her to put on the t-shirt? (via Animal New York via Counterfeit Chic via Kevin R.)
Seems like our Danish cartoonists, really know how to stir things up with their drawings. As a Dane I am a bit more proud of this one, than the Mumammed cartoons… 🙂
