LV should be ashamed of themselves. I’ll keep on saving for Hermes.

Louis Vuitton has one of two choices here- they let it slide or they don’t. If they let it slide, they would be setting a precedent. Others would wonder why, if they used a mock-LV display for artistic purposes, why they themselves couldn’t get away with it, if so-and-so did the first time. What if the next artist’s cause isn’t quite so worthy? What if the next artist sued LV on the basis that they have allowed others to use their logo in the past for a certain cause, and the artist ascertains that LV is being biased against them or their cause in some way? A lot goes into this. I’m not on LV’s side per say, but I understand their predicament. I think they are handling it a bit harshly, and a good natured public statement might help to clear things up, or a charitable move on their part, but I guess we shall see. The artist is making a good point, and I don’t believe it at all reflects on LV or Chi owners (that’s actually pretty absurd) but this is an artist-to-artist dispute, and I’m not sure why they can’t see eye to eye on the issue.

haha this is brilliant!
on the one hand, the artist is blatantly ripping off LV. on the other, because it’s for charity, LV look like total assholes for suing the website selling the images! i love it.
and the image is also a total slap in the face to the image of the spoilt brat bitch kim kardashian/paris hilton type that is seen out and about with her mini bitchy dog and a big tacky lv bag.
it’s brilliant on so many levels…

It’s hardly a random analogy, it’s the same thing, she is stealing from one thing to justify another. It’s collectively called morals.

They probably would have if he’d painted the soup cans with a naked, starving child.

I am not a fan of Louis Vuitton as I find their designs quite tacky but I absolutely will not be buying any of their products after reading about this. It is absolutely disgraceful that LV are suing a woman who is trying to help others. This is for CHARITY for God’s sake. I think her campaign is fantastic – such a clever idea – and I find it absolutely disgusting that “celebrities” like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and their ilk are constantly making front-page news, while children are dying all over the world and no-one seems to give a crap. LV should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves; this makes me sick.

Exactly why I don’t purchase plastic logo thrown up over handbags from egotistical maniacs who have a pretentious stick up their butts. As if a tshirt image is really going to reduce their yearly sales numbers. If anything suing the artist that is trying to fundraise for a humane cause will hurt their image more. If they want to publicly humiliate themselves and tarnish their image as being heartless cold cash mongers (which we already knew), let them. Rock on Nadia Plenser!
