Nadia, thank you for all you've done. It's awful that LV would even consider it's personal gain over those in Darfur who have nothing. I'd love to see more shirts using popular symbols to raise awareness! Keep up your arkwork too- it's inspired me in my high school art classes.

Dear Nadia, I just wanted to let you know that our hearts are with you and I wish you the best of luck in your battle with LV. It's disgusting that they would even consider taking you to court. They have no excuse. I hope this will have a huge backlash and they'll learn a big fat lesson from this. Good luck!

I can't believe that Louis Vuitton has a lawsuit against you. It is just sick and wrong. I don't know how the people at that company can live with themselves when they are trying to stop you from doing some good in the world. Keep up the great work- you are inspiring.

...Hoi! Love ur sites.:-)S A friendly suggestion: Would be nice to see the official EUÂ´s "Trustmark logo" on ur site. It gives a foreign customer a safe feeling when buy abroad and wonder if ur shop happen to be safe. It gives also You an advantage as a trusted netshop. Fond ur information from EU Howard assistent and it was missing.(was intrested to order a t-shirt)The labels can be fond at http://www.euro-label.com/euro-label/ControllerServlet Kind Regards. ``:o) <--reindeerfinn

Søde Nadja! Jeg beundrer virkelig dit arbejde, første gang jeg hørte om dig, var gennem bladet Cosmopolitan! Hvor er det stærkt gået af dig, at du har kæmpet for retten om trykket med Louis Vuitton tasken. Det er meget få, som tør gå så langt! Jeg ønskede mig t-shirten i julegave, da jeg mente, jeg kunne gøre noget godt således. Ved næste lønmodtagelse, skal jeg købe en ny og det bliver nok også til en plakat. Endnu en gang tak for, at du gør en forskel. / Ida - Glumsø

Hi Nadia! Too bad we can´t buy the Simple Living T-shirts with the bag anymore! I read about the lawsuit in a magazine. Guess i came to late. Will buy the other one, though. You are doing a really good job, making the rest of the world aware of the problems in Darfur. When the media is turning the blind eye, it´s good to have people like you :-) Hope everything will work out well for you in the future.

Great Job and LVMH have shown how out of step with reality they are.

Hej Nadia. Jeg har lige læst om din nye t-shirt i et blad. Jeg synes den er vildt fed... ligesom den med Louis Vuitton. Jeg synes det er en vildt godt projekt du har gang i og vil gerne støtte det. Jeg har bare lige et enkelt spørgesmål: kan man få en t-shirt med den lille dreng og chihuahuaen? Den kan jeg nemlig rigtig godt lide. Held og lykke fra Anne Q.

Nadia, I wish the world was full of individuals like yourself. I'm disgusted that a luxury line who sides itself with art attacked yours vision. However, I'm very impressed with your determination and your class durning the ordeal. Thank you for strengthing my belief that people can make a differnce and will work hard to achieve it. Best of luck.

Dear Nadia, Great to see that you succeeded in - once again - raising awareness on the ongoing sufferings in Darfur. Thanks a lot for your very important work. Hope that one day soon the islamist government will be forced to stop the slaughtering of men and the Janjaweed ( = arab) rapings of girls and women of Darfur. All the best to you!

Hi Nadia, Sorry to se the bag left the boys arm. Why was that exactly - Did LV/YSL succed in the legal threats against you or what happened? Despite that I would very much want to buy the original t-shirt - do you know where it can be found today? Suggest for the readers on this site: Alternativly one can buy the new t-shirt with the boy without the bag and draw in the bag on the shirt by one selves. If that trend spreads the LV/YSL conglomorate will have lost any ways. And it's an important story to tell about corporate abuse and -arrogance. Best of Luck SÃ¸ren

hmmm what is this about selling t-shirts saying little miss child prostitute seriously you want exposer for our kids in darfur if your going to help help in a way thats not silly. just think about it

Dear Nadia Send you my respect and greetings for your wonderfull work. I am sad that the bag is lost - couldnt it be a "anonymous" kind of fashion bag - i agree with Anastasia (below)- but I am not dissapointed because lawsuits are the most draining thing to have hanging around your neck...dont waiste time with that and use it instead of creating great art as you do. Send you love. Send you love xoxoxo www.myspace.com/inatdk

Hey! Super projekt du har gang i her, stor respekt herfra! Jeg vil selvfølgelig gerne støtte din kampagne ved at købe en t-shirt, men når jeg går ind på "read more" her til højre ved pigen, sker der ingenting ?

I have to say that I am a little disappointed that you have updated the image, removing the handbag. It's fair to say that one cannot blame Louis Vuitton for the atrocities that are unfolding in Darfur and other third world nations, but the bag -as a symbol- does work to communicate the gap between the ludicrously wealthy and the starving. It better illustrates society's fascination with celebrities, or the crap that media companies use to distract people, focusing on celebrities like Victoria Beckham and her collection of Hermes Birkin bags, or Paris Hilton and her penchant for rat-like canines and Louis Vuitton. Art is about controversy. I guess, decades ago, society wasn't so litigious as it is now, and artists didn't think about lawsuits (companies didn't think about them either, I guess), but still...I think that the bag should have stayed irrespective of the lawsuit. It still would have focused attention on the issue at hand - Darfur. We're living in a society where people that can make some difference, feel more comfortable about buying five thousand dollar handbags than voicing any concern about the socio-economic gaps that affect developed countries as well. People often resort to crime because of money or poverty, and yet, celebrities constantly complain about security, potential kidnap threats and so on. But the gap is widening. I don't know, I think your updated illustration lacks the edge that it had, but not only that, you say that it was your decision, and I kind of doubt that. When the Sistine Chapel was painted, Michaelangelo didn't cover up some of the nudity he painted, but Daniele da Volterra did.

Hejsa Nadia Det er fedt, at der er kunstnere som dig, der vil "noget" med deres værker og som samtidig er så heldig at få omtale i medierne, også selvom at du fik et sagsanliggende på nakken. Godt gået miss dane!

Cant you just change the louis vitton print slightly and continue to make the t-shirts?? I really want one!..... well done for your front-line efforts x

Hej Nadia. . . jeg har for første gang i dag set din t-shirt med den "berømte" afrikaner dreng med vuitton tasken.jeg blev faktisk rørt over den geniale måde du har formået at give udtryg for, hvad man vel egentlig næppe kan sætte ord på. Jeg har stor respekt for det du har gjort.Og selvom den lille dreng er gået hen og har mistet sin tasken på den lange vej så siger det vel i virkeligheden mere om dem end noget andet. . . så som du selv har sagt så er han-den afrikanske dreng- måske i virkeligheden mere sigende uden sin taske... og til sidst et spørgsmål, er der mulighed for at købe t-shirten et sted?. . også uden tasken. .smiler. . . respektfulde tanker og en masse medvind på din vej fra Lisbeth.

Hej Nadia! Du har virkelig sat gang i en vigtig debat, jeg beundrer din indgangsvinkel til problemet, dine t-shirts er rigtig fede -og ikke mindst tankevækkende! Held og lykke med kampagnen fremover,mange smil herfra! :-)

hey, love your campaign. love your t-shirt. found out about the simple life t-shirt with the dog and bag at my lecture last friday. was just wondering if the t-shirt is still available with the bag? or if you can buy the new one at your online shop because i can't see it up? was also thinking, if the original t-shirt is not available, could u maybe send the artwork so i can screen print it myself and send a donation for it?!? hope everything goes great for you and keep doing what you're doing ^____^

Just heard about your campaign on Swedish radio, kudos to you! You're not alone in being concerned about the development in Darfur.
16/9-2008 • Nadia Plesner, Holland
@ Ola: Just for the record, I was not bought by any company. I chose to remove the bag from the drawing to get focus back on Darfur. There was no settlement, no deal. It was my own decision and I am happy with the new campaign I created instead. The main goal for the first campaign was to get media attention on Darfur and when it all escalated into being only about the lawsuit it was time to start something new. I don't know why you would think I made a deal with them, but that is not the case. Best regards, Nadia

I'm more than willing to support your foundation. It's so great that you took it one step further. I hope the shop opens soon. Best wishes!

There is always a very tinny part of the society whos aware of the main problems of the world and really put lot of effort on it, so, You are trully an example of this, congratulations and keep doing this amazing work on artistic consciousness. Is there anyway to help with your mission besides buying the t-shirts? wich by the way are awesome.
29/8-2008 • amalie , denmark

29/8-2008 • Amalie, Denmark

26/8-2008 • Kate, Poland
Hey! Nice site,I think so;D
26/8-2008 • Ola, Sweden
Well, I promise you this much, I wont be buying any t-shirt without the boy holding the purse. I cant believe that you allowed yourself to be bought by the big corporations. You and your company has absolutely no more credibility left in my opinion.

Hi Nadia, Go for it Girl! Politicians dont' give a damn! Some people do. You do, Nadia. Keep up the good work, please!

You really make me lose my breath. Your pictures are heart breaking. It reminds about what a f..ck up world were all are living in. But with your foundation you make me hope for a better future for the ones who got nothing...

Please open the shop :D!!!!
18/8-2008 • Gomez,
Im sorry to say that the new design doesn't have as much impact as the ladder. Try pissing off corporate companies to ensure max awareness. :D Good luck!

I think its awesome to see what you're doing. I'm looking forward to get a t-shirt of my own, so that I can help support the organizations who helps children. Just one question: When will we be able to buy the t-shirts? The shop should open on august 18th, but it seems that it's not yet. I will try to be patient, take care :-)
