sudan chic.

There's nothing like having your luxury brand known throughout the world as high class, pricey and fashion forward product defaced in public and sold for $19.99 over the web.

Danish artist, Nadia Plesner designed a shirt to raise money for a charity. A starving meek Sudanese child is depicted with a Luis Vuitton-like handbag and totting a miniature Chihuahua dressed in a pink valour jump suit no doubt. Ending in a delightful tag...Simple Living.

Nadia's thinking: Since doing nothing but wearing designer bags and small ugly dogs apparently is enough to get you on a magazine cover, maybe it is worth a try for people who actually deserves and needs attention.

Luis Vuitton's thinking: Cut it the F*ck out, or we will sue you.

Both valid arguments. Copy infringement for the sake of Africa. Milkshakes anyone? (told you that scene was at the end, Kelly).
