Excerpt:

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?”

I'm from the UK and I have no idea who Guess even are, so they can't be that big of a deal. I won't support them anyway... if I ever see them haha.

A quick search and it looks like the Mike Ashley owned House of Fraser sells them. So double win.
