Authentic Jeans Talk | Denim and Celebs, Deals, No fake Clothing

Today we had breakfast at the St. Regis with the President and C.E.O. of Louis Vuitton North America and a few other choice bloggers including Get Kempt, Gala Darling, Daniel Saynt of Fashion Indie, Tina Craig of Bag Snob, Lesley of Fashiontribes and Wendy of Nitrolicious.

After receiving the invite last week we were more than intrigued to see what would come of the meeting.

Of course, as is the norm for big events, Murphy’s Law was in full effect. After jumping off a stalled six train (police investigation at 14th Street) and almost throwing down fisticuffs for a cab, we finally managed to share with someone going in the same direction (thanks Justin!).

Walking into the St. Regis, we headed for the library for what was a small intimate breakfast hosted by Daniel Lalonde. As much we tried to be suave, we were more than gleefully excited by the invite and meeting.

For a moment prior to arriving we had visions of some hoity-toity executives and how grateful we should be to be in their presence, *pause*, and the presence of Louis Vuitton. But it was NOTHING like that (thank goodness!) .

Le Google: Google said it was weighing a possible appeal after a Paris court ordered it to pay 200,000 euros ($260,000) plus costs to luxury goods maker Louis Vuitton for breach of trademark.

The high court in central Paris awarded the damages and ordered Google (GOOG) to stop displaying advertisements for Vuitton’s rivals when internet users type Vuitton’s name or other trademarks into the search engine.

The court ruled that Google was guilty of false publicity and counterfeiting, upholding complaints by Vuitton that internet users searching for the Paris-based maker of luxury bags, accessories and apparel were also shown ads for companies selling forgeries.

The ruling is the latest blow by French courts against Google’s AdWords system, which allows companies to buy advertising linked to search keywords — including rivals’ trademarks. U.S. courts have so far shown more tolerance than France toward Google’s advertising policy. A U.S. judge ruled that it did not violate federal trademark laws.
