For the Love of Labels



Ladies and gents, we are now one step closer to seperating the reals and the fakes- well at least as far as designer goods are concerned. LVMH (the uber luxury brand that owns everything from Louis Vuitton and Moet Hennessy, to Marc Jacobs and Sephora) just won about $32 milli in a lawsuit filed against two web companies that allow the selling of knockoffs. Its about time! I swear i've walked past $10 boutiques with "D&G" belt buckles and "Prada" bags in the window like its perfectly legal to sell fake labels. Don't even get me started on the fake denim and sneakers craze. My point is, if you cant afford the the real deal why bother with a phony? Even if no one else knows its an imposter, you do. And what does that say about you????? Seriously, i'm curious.
