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?”

    So if you don’t agree with a multinational clothing brand using someone’s art for profit without their permission you’re a nazi now?

      No but super disingenuous questions asked in that tone regurgitated in defense of capitalist nonsense sure are a red flag.

        How is what I said a red flag? Are you following the correct thread? I didn’t defend Guess.
