KIDULT: Europe’s Next Top Vandal owns Kenzo, Paris

The Kidult you love to hate is back and once again is sparing no establishment. After the Supreme job, the MoCA mission, and scraping the face off of a few other high end retailers, he’s going gully on Paris boutique, Kenzo. Once again he’s not tolerating the mainstream use of graffiti / street art culture for capital gain. The first part of the vid promos Kenzo’s new fragrance, Flower Tag. You can do the knowledge from there.

Seriously? KID, if you happen to read this, that whole concept is so tom coon buffoonik why bother? Unless this is an inside job to launch a new product with immediate controversy right out of the gate. But then that would mean you’re part of the establishment. Either way keep dropping these videos. The innanets loves you meng. [source: The Beast]
