I'm enough of a not-fashionable-gal to have totally missed this. I clicked over from Women Alltop, saw the image as I scrolled down your page, thought "Whoa. WTF?" Appreciate our thoughts on this. I agree with (your?) mom, send this to LV. Even if they can't see their way to taking the high road you outline, they might see a middle path that would still be better than where they are right now. Good, smart writing. I'll definitely be back. --Stacie Wow. I’m enough of a not-fashionable-gal to have totally missed this.

Maybe they'll listen to regular people and people who are likely to purchase their product. I agree that they have handled it badly and it's never too late to "do the right thing" and move forward.

I think it's that in America we take so much of what we have for granted. It's why when actors die, there's so much buzz about it, but when real issues are happening like here with Darfur, people would rather look away and pretend the issue doesn't exist. LV is known to be high up on the list for highly commercialized iconic symbols. They could remedy the situation by working collarboratively with the artist towards a positive means and match donate based on sales of the shirt. All she had to do was ask most likely. I doubt LV would have had a problem with it then. People seem to put more value in glamor than they do in what’s important. I think it’s that in America we take so much of what we have for granted.
