If Paris Hilton Were A Sudanese Child From Dafur T-Shirt
Louie Vuitton is not happy about this t-shirt design from Danish artist Nadia Plesner, regardless if its for charity or not. Counterfeit Chic reports:
The image casts a Sudanese child from the troubled Darfur region in the role of Paris Hilton, complete with small pink-clad dog and designer handbag, in order to criticize the media’s excessive coverage of attention-seeking celebutantes rather than genocidal conflict. In Nadia’s words, “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.”
She’s been sent a fairly cheerful cease and desist letter which you can download here (PDF), but regardless of the ginger tone, the fashion house requested she stop selling the tees ASAP. Counterfeit Chic does a great job breaking down the legalese.
