"For me the copy is the success" (Coco Chanel)
At the very beginning of the 2006 International Festival were sent a series of images. The plastic bag that in the autumn of 2005 were spread to 50 theatres in Europe and elsewhere had been redesigned. A replica of the original IF plastic bag had seen the ligth and International Festival of course praise the Lord and hope for more creative initiatives. The gossip indeed says that the film director Walter Salles after his production of On The Road are working on The Plastic Bag Diaries with Gwen Stephanie as the main character based on Vivienne Westwood.

The replica bag seem to have been issued in Sweden but it is also possible that the bag has been created in a French speaking country. International Festival will continue to investigate, and like Terry Benedict hunt these criminals to the end of the world. Long live lousy copies.

The plastic bag today (2 November 2005) reached Japan. Images from the Swedish design exhibition in Tokyo has arrived to International Festival.
The audience in Japan showed great interest for the bags and has taken strong liking to the aesthetics of International Festival.

The plastic bag is currently reaching new destinations as the tours is going on. An art centre in Portland asked for a package during an accidental meeting in Brussels, and Unfriendly Takeover has decided to send their second package to Jerusalem. Dansstationen in Malmö is sending their bags to the far east as well: Russia is the destination.
