Banksy isn’t happy with Guess’ latest collaboration.
The legendary anonymous graffiti artist had a directive for his followers on Friday, encouraging them—possibly tongue in cheek, possibly not—to visit the Regent Street Guess store in London and steal the brand’s new collection that features his artwork.
“Attention all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regents Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?”
Did he paint the design on one of their buildings? Because if he did, and they took that design and put it on t-shirts, that would be a pretty bad-ass move imo
Pretty sure copying and selling it is still IP theft. If they removed the wall section and sold it that’s legal, people have done that to get his work many times.
