Why might the torso-shaped fragrance bottles have been so successful?
What will be an ideal response?
It’s commonly believed that Gaultier’s Classique fragrance bottle was inspired by Madonna, with whom he created some of his most familiar corset-based runway fashions. But that’s only partly true. Gaultier says the bottle shape is meant to represent a tailor’s dummy, but he also admits it’s a homage to a similar perfume bottle: the 1936 Shocking scent from Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli, who said at the time that the shape was based on Mae West and influenced by Salvador Dali. At its heart, though, Gaultier’s bottle design is a crystal-clear symbol of what his design aesthetic is all about: a rapturous adoration of the human form, both male and female. (His most strikingly erotic edition, not surprisingly, was the chiseled male torso in the alabaster white Fleur du Male edition from 2007.)

Little Bobby, 5 years old, finds his older brother's "Extendo Sword," which is a toy sword that
springs from one foot long to five feet long when a button is pushed on the handle. His mother tells Bobby to put the sword down because he will put someone's eye out if he's not careful. Bobby pushes the button when the sword is pointed toward his face and, just as all properly functioning "Extendo Swords" do, the sword sprang out. Bobby is injured, and under products liability, his parents sue the toy store that sold them the toy. Bobby's parents will most likely: A) Win on the basis of a manufacturing defect. B) Lose if the defendant can show that the sword was a state of the art design. C) Win on the basis of a design defect. D) Lose because of Bobby's contributory negligence; Bobby played with the sword after being told not to. E) Lose if they cannot prove negligence on the part of the toy store.
