In more graffiti news for the day, Marc Jacobs recently one-upped an artist named Kidult, who vandalized his SoHo store. Kidult has tagged other high-end names such as Hermes and Louis Vuitton, but no fashion house had thought to strike back, until now. Click here to find out how Jacobs exacted sweet revenge!
Kidult didn’t simply stop at spray painting the store; the next day he took to Twitter to brag about his act. But, undaunted, Jacobs came up with a clever plan for retaliation: snap a photo of the graffito, slap it on a shirt and price it at $680:
Smooth move, Jacobs. Though now the designer has had one pulled on him; Wilfry is selling a shirt with a photo of the shirt on it. For $35.
This meta business is making my head spin. I think I’ll just save my money and not buy either tee! [via Boing Boing]
What do you think of the shirts?

I’m not buying either. I don’t know what Kidult was trying to accomplish by vandalizing high-end designer stores…must have had nothing better to do.
