Marc Jacobs turns graffiti vandalism into a tidy profit Marc Jacobs has responded to graffiti daubed onto the front of his Paris shop by Kidult by turning it into a T-shirt that retails for $686. In probably the most fashionable case ever of 'don't get mad, get even', Marc Jacobs has once again turned vandalism into a tidy profit. A couple of days ago the front of his Paris store was branded with $686 in lurid green spray paint by graffiti artist Kidult. But instead of calling the police and making a big hoo-ha, the brand tweeted: 'Come by Paris Collection for the opening night installation of the new @therealkidult. We proudly support the arts.', along with a picture of the 'art'. READ: Anna Wintour and Marc Jacobs's awkward Prada-clad clash The graffiti is the latest twist in an ongoing battle between Jacobs and 'visual dictator' Kidult, who in 2011 tagged Jacobs's SoHo, New York store with the word 'ART' in bright pink. The designer responded by taking a picture of it, printing it on a run of T-shirts and selling them for $686 (approximately £446) each - which is what it's assumed Kidult is referencing with his latest trick.

The MJ team also appear to have emblazoned some trucker caps with the work, which they've been wearing on a team outing. It's not Kidult's first brush with designer brands - in fact, he makes it his mission to annoy as many as possible and stores belonging to Céline, Agnès B, Christian Louboutin, Hermès and Yves Saint Laurent have all previously felt the wrath of his anti-consumerism spray can. There's been no word from Kidult since the new T-shirts were revealed, except for a brief tweet simply saying 'Manufacturing consent...'. Expect this war of wit and words to run and run.
