Nicola Kirkbride, the fashion management student in the UK who found her face all over a yellow children's sweatshirt in the megaretailer Tesco, has gone from "flattered" to "shocked and angry." The shirts have been pulled from the shelves pending an investiation (that means, Tesco is mitigating damages in case it loses a lawsuit) and Kirkbride is in discussions and has legal representation.
Another interesting detail is that Kirkbride, as someone trying to break into the fashion industry as a profession, has previously engaged in negotiations to license other images to other merchandisers. It seems her initial thrill of being "in pictures" has given way to a more pragmatic attitude. Stay tuned here for more updates.
