So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Louis Vuitton Strikes Again: Shuts Down Art Exhibit That Commented On LV Emblems

By Archibald Hill


Previously this year, you might recall that we wrote a couple of strange and absurd lawsuit that luxury merchandise retailer Louis Vuitton had filed towards Hyundai, because for a few of seconds in a very Hyundai commercial, a basketball is observed with markings that sorta kinda mimic (however, not exactly) LV's purse layout. This can be the exact same Louis Vuitton that had sued a fundraiser who had created t-shirts to lift cash for Darfur, which integrated an illustration of a "pimped out" Darfur target who was holding a bag that also mimicked LV's styles.

I had been reminded of equally of such instances not too long ago once i was catching up on modern episodes in the Television display Myth busters. In a single episode, the myth being tested is whether or not or not you can create cannon from leather. Within the ultimate attempt, Myth buster Kari Byron decides to "decorate" the cannon, and does so with symbols that, once again, mimic the LV style, turning it right into a "designer cannon." Sadly, it seems to be like Discovery does not allow you to embed clips, but here's a fast display screen shot that i took:

All I could consider happen to be whether or not (a) Myth busters/Discovery had cleared that and gotten a permit from LVMH or (b) if LVMH was planning to sue. I have no idea if something has transpired there; however, you can relaxation assured that LVMH is occupied around the lawful front somewhere else. Church Hates Tucker factors us towards the news that LVMH has shut down an artwork show in Japan that concerned sculptures of nine locusts which were every constructed from counterfeit Louis Vuitton luggage:

The sculptures were plainly intended to act as commentary around the character of luxury manufacturers and counterfeiting, as they had been called Batta Mon, which the article joined previously mentioned claims is: Based on the artist, the works are supposed to raise questions about the connection among authenticity and imitation inside a consumer-driven modern society. It appears like that's a perfectly great topic for commentary by way of artwork and it seems absurd that LVMH is stifling the artist's work. Absolutely nothing in this display goes to produce any person feel that it had been endorsed by LVMH. It definitely isn't carrying out anything at all to create consumer confusion. The artist is pissed off, but the museum said it failed to wish to deal by using a legal fight, so this artist's operate receives taken down as one more business abuses trademark law. Watch out, Myth busters, you could be next...

Possibly there was usually an advanced level of flavor in China. At any charge, probably the most superior buyers are virtually logos out. That is certainly a challenge for the manufacturer like Vuitton, whose core merchandise is monogrammed luggage. "Actually, a monogrammed trunk is about as magnificent as it will get," says Carmella. "There are three stages using this type of model," added Jordi Constans, Louis Vuitton's incoming CEO. "The new clients, whose first acquire, will be the monogram. The next phase is to purchase the ready-to-wear, the jewellery or perhaps the simple purses. Then there is essentially the most advanced of all, the client who appreciates the brand, not as a clear outward indicator of cost, but because of its record and glamour."
