Art Student Nadia Plesner's Giant Louis Vuitton Copyright SuitDanish 26-year-old art student Nadia Plesner designed this T-shirt depicting a Darfurian child holding a Louis Vuitton bag with a Chihuahua on his shoulder.
The message is that the media covers meaningless things like handbags and Paris Hilton's pooch instead of the issues that matter.
So Plesner dressed a Darfurian child like Paris so that maybe, just maybe, the world would pay attention.
Louis Vuitton sure did!
In February they slammed Plesner with a copyright lawsuit demanding $20,000 a day for each day she continued to use this image and reimbursement for legal fees.
Plesner refused to stop using the image, and on May 30 she's scheduled to meet with Louis Vuitton in Paris with her lawyer.
