High fashion for homeless Koreans

Kam via Reuters schon im Februar, trotzdem erst gestern von mir entdeckt: Some South Korean homeless are dressing in style after the government gave away thousands of fake designer garments confiscated by customs agents.[..]
The Korea Customs Service distributed more than 3,500 fake pieces in the southern city of Pusan this month with the permission of the fashion houses whose designs had been pirated. A customs official declined to name the designers whose ripped-off creations are now being worn by the homeless but said both they and the state prosecutors had approved giving away the jackets, blouses, shirts and pants.[..]"I don't care about the quality of the clothes, but these designs are quite trendy," the recipient said.
