Fashion company advertises with Carla Bruni's nude photo

The fashion company Pardon advertises with the famous nude photo of French President Carla Bruni's wife. Bruni has now filed a lawsuit in court. The fashion company, which according to W&V is known for producing T-shirts with funny advertising slogans, printed part of the original image on canvas bags, alongside the self-promotional slogan: "My husband should have bought me something from Pardon!
The photo dates back to 1993 and was auctioned off at Christie's in April for 60,000 euros. The Pardon bag is distributed free of charge to all customers who spend more than five euros. Otherwise, the bag, which is likely to achieve cult status, is available for three euros. Carla Bruni wants an immediate injunction to stop the distribution and is also demanding compensation of 125,000 euros.
