  • Altman on Jacobs on Dior: Fashion Through Fractals and Archives
    Streetnotes (2012) 20: 90-110 90 ISSN: 2159-2926 Altman on Jacobs on Dior: Fashion Through Fractals and Archives J. Emmanuel Raymundo Abstract On February 25, 2011, the fashion luxury company Christian Dior suspended John Galliano, who had been its creative director since 1996, after his arrest over making anti-Semitic remarks at a Paris bar. Quickly following his suspension, a video from December 2010 was distributed showing Galliano hurling anti-Semitic invectives at several bar patrons. On March 1, 2011, Dior fired Galliano. At stake in the considerable interest and speculations regarding who takes over at Dior is control of a €24.6B business empire and access to a historic couturier’s archive. In this sense, its designer will influence the label’s “books” both financial and what will be stored in its physical repository as part of the brand’s creative and artistic repertoire. Despite fashion’s apparent ubiquity, the anticipation surrounding who takes over at Dior is proof that despite fashion’s professed democratization, there still exists a fashion hierarchy with Dior occupying its upper echelon. Since Galliano’s dismissal, fashion insiders have moved from breathlessly feverish in their speculations to desperately calling out for relief in the face of an unexpectedly drawn-out waiting game that is now over a year old and otherwise an eternity in fashion’s hyper accelerated production cycle. To purposely counter fashion’s accelerated internal clock, the purpose of this commentary is to keep fashion in a reflective state rather than a reflexive stance and uses fashion on film, and specifically Robert Altman’s Prêt-à-Porter (1994), to give cultural and historical context to all the online speculation and chatter.

  • Louis Vuitton Malletier S.A
    Louis Vuitton Malletier S.A. v. Haute Diggity Dog, LLC United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit 507 F.3d 252 (4th Cir. 2007) NIEMEYER, Circuit Judge: Louis Vuitton Malletier S.A., a French corporation located in Paris, that manufactures luxury luggage, handbags, and accessories, commenced this action against Haute Diggity Dog, LLC, a Nevada corporation that manufactures and sells pet products nationally, alleging trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1114(1)(a), trademark dilution under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c), copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 501, and related statutory and common law violations. Haute Diggity Dog manufactures, among other things, plush toys on which dogs can chew, which, it claims, parody famous trademarks on luxury products, including those of Louis Vuitton Malletier. The particular Haute Diggity Dog chew toys in question here are small imitations of handbags that are labeled “Chewy Vuiton” and that mimic Louis Vuitton Malletier's LOUIS VUITTON handbags. On cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court concluded that Haute Diggity Dog's “Chewy Vuiton” dog toys were successful parodies of Louis Vuitton Malletier's trademarks, designs, and products, and on that basis, entered judgment in favor of Haute Diggity Dog on all of Louis Vuitton Malletier's claims. On appeal, we agree with the district court that Haute Diggity Dog's products are not likely to cause confusion with those of Louis Vuitton Malletier and that Louis Vuitton Malletier's copyright was not infringed. On the trademark dilution claim, however, we reject the district court's reasoning but reach the same conclusion through a different analysis.

  • Fendi Tables! Louis Vuitton Shelves! the 12 Most Eye- Catching Pieces at Design Miami
    Fendi Tables! Louis Vuitton Shelves! The 12 Most Eye- Catching Pieces at Design Miami BY ELISE TAYLO R December 4, 2019 Photo: Getty Images Design Miami, the annual Miami Beach fair that brings together avant-garde furniture, lighting, and objets d’art, is always full of works that can’t help but inspire adoration. Famed design houses bring with them edgy collaborations with buzzy artists. Gallerists present works from emerging creators or archival pieces from renowned ones. There are maximalists, and minimalists. Most of all, there are designs dreamt up from inspiring minds that push the boundaries of the industry—and set standards for years to come. 2018 saw Balenciaga printers, Fendi Fountains, and the Kaws x Campana Chair (eventually purchased by one Kylie Jenner). But what caught our eye at 2019? Below, an overview of what stood out and what trends surfaced, with input from features editor Lilah Ramzi. Roberto Lugo’s Stuntin‘ Series (Wexler Gallery) Born in Philadelphia to Puerto Rican parents, Roberto Lugo is a classically trained ceramicist (who studied at the factories of historic Hungarian porcelain house of Herend) but in lieu of Rococo swags or idyllic florals, Lugo handprints his wares with the hip-hop iconography of his youth. Bowls feature emblems borrowed from Air Jordans and dripping bubble letters evocative of graffiti. Most eye- catching is a small human-sized urn painted with the likes of Biggie Smalls. “Historically, anthropology used ceramics to let us know what was happening and cultures past,” he says, “I see my role as an artist but also as an archivist.
