French first lady sues over 'nude Carla' bags
French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is taking a clothing company to court to stop it from selling a shopping bag featuring a photo of the former supermodel in the nude, a lawyer said Friday.
French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is taking a clothing company to court to stop it from selling a shopping bag featuring a photo of the former supermodel in the nude, a lawyer said Friday.
The white canvas bags went on sale this month on the French island of Reunion, produced by local clothing firm Pardon which plans to sell them throughout France soon, said Pardon manager Peter Mertes.
A court in the Reunion capital of Saint-Denis on Monday heard the request from President Nicolas Sarkozy's wife to ban sales of the bag.
"This bag makes use of Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy's image without her consent and for commercial gain," said Iqbal Akhoun, a spokesman in Saint-Denis for the first lady's lawyer Thierry Herzog.
The 40-year-old former supermodel is also seeking 125,000 euros (US$167,000) in damages from Pardon, which she would donate to charity, he added.
The bag features a black-and-white picture of Bruni-Sarkozy taken from a famous 1993 photo of the model standing upright in the nude that fetched US$91,000 at a New York auction earlier this year.
A talk bubble on the bag next to the first lady reads "My boyfriend should have bought me Pardon". The item sells for three euros.
Pardon boss Mertes told reporters his company had manufactured 10,000 'Carla' bags and that most of them were gifts to clients who bought other products.
Mertes said he was entitled to use the photo because Bruni-Sarkozy is a public figure.
The case comes two weeks after a Paris appeals court ordered that a Sarkozy voodoo doll be sold with a label describing it as offensive to the president, but refused to ban the novelty.
That decision overturned a lower court ruling that found the doll sold with needles and an instruction manual fell "within the authorised limits of free expression and the right to humour."

這款印有第一夫人*照的白色帆布包由位于法國留尼旺島的帕爾頓（Pardon）制衣公司“出品”。據(jù)公司經(jīng)理彼得•莫特斯介紹，公司已于本月在當(dāng)?shù)赝瞥鲞@款包，而且打算不久后在全國銷售。
留尼旺島首府圣德尼地方法院于本周一開庭審理此案，聽取布呂尼要求禁止銷售此產(chǎn)品的請求。
布呂尼的律師蒂埃里•赫爾佐格在圣德尼的發(fā)言人伊克巴爾·阿克霍恩說：“帕爾頓公司未經(jīng)第一夫人本人許可，將她的照片用于商業(yè)目的?！?BR> 據(jù)他介紹，現(xiàn)年40歲的布呂尼向求帕爾頓公司索賠12.5萬歐元（合16.7萬美元），并打算把這筆錢捐給慈善機(jī)構(gòu)。
帕爾頓公司盜用的這張黑白*照是布呂尼1993年拍攝的，當(dāng)時她還是個模特，照片上的布呂尼站在那里一絲不掛。在今年早些時候紐約的一次拍賣會上，這張*照以9.1萬美元的價格拍出。
