Banksy • GUESS Clothing, by xixixi on Nov 18, 2022 20:57:07 GMT 1, Just returned from Regents street, Got there around 4.45pm heavy security presence. I'm guessing that the store received a lot people before this time who were actually shoplifting items and called in extra heavys.. The staff were frantically removing items from the shop front and removing all of the promotional display in the front window. The store was fully closed from 4.45pm and it didn’t reopen. Being on a S̶a̶t̶u̶r̶d̶a̶y̶ Friday this must have cost them an entire days trade. Quite funny if you ask me. Don't know if there are any legal consequences for directing a flash mob of shoplifters towards a store and then costing them an entire days trade on a Friday/ Saturday in the run up to Christmas, this could get interesting.

Banksy • GUESS Clothing, by met on Nov 18, 2022 21:49:10 GMT 1,
 "Guess has unveiled a capsule collection for autumn/winter 2022 using iconic motifs from Banksy’s graffiti. The collection was created in partnership with Brandalised, which has the urban graffiti license to offer Banksy fans affordable graffiti collectables. The capsule features contemporary garments along with unique accessories, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, dresses, denim, socks, coats and hats. Each piece mixes Banksy’s graffiti with “Guess attitude,” explains the brand in the press release. Mixing contemporary style with vintage wash finishes, faux fur, ribbed cuffs and Guess logo detailing in a colour palette of light acid green, stone, red, pink and blue." fashionunited.uk/news/fashion/guess-unveils-collection-with-graffiti-by-banksy/2022110366035
Love it. Although what on earth is an "urban graffiti licence"?
Presumably, the contract with Brandalised was reviewed and negotiated by a lawyer or group of lawyers (in-house and/or external) acting for GUESS.
But if a modicum of due diligence had been completed, regarding the use on its clothing range of Banksy images nicked from the internet, GUESS would have realised that entering into a licencing agreement with John Doe from Huddersfield would have had equal legal validity.
And it would likely have cost GUESS about 99% less than what the company will have handed over to Brandalised for the same privilege.
After a year Banksy it’s more active then I thought. Trange to see him react to something that sell things using him image/ name without authorisation, this happens every days
While this type of theft may happen every day, it rarely does so involving such a high-profile protagonist. GUESS is a multinational retailer, apparently with around 1,600 shops globally.
Under these circumstances, a jocular public call-out by Banksy seems a legitimate and not-inappropriate response.
I'm guessing that guess just probably paid well over £1M to 'Brandalised' for a license they don’t even own.. Who's going to inform Guess that they have just been scammed?
Imagine being part of the team of employees and decision-makers at GUESS who were directly involved in this project. And what their respective weekends are now looking like.
Roll up to the party lookin slick wearing one of BANKSY's most iconic images:  
Excellent. Thank you for posting.
Let's hope they also have a sweatshirt with my favourite Banksy image: the panda with handguns.
How many followers does Banksy have on Instagram? I suspect Guess are over the moon Banksy has posted about it 😆 Perfect viral marketing! Extra Christmas bonus coming for the Guess Marketing Team 👏🏻 I agree wholeheartedly that Banksy’s post is a brilliant advertisement for Guess clothing and I would think it now sells out and I am suspicious of why now when Banksy is being sold everywhere. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Copyright is for Losers 😂
It is not great marketing for GUESS.
A corporation has zero interest in coming across as ill-informed, ill-advised and unprepared. GUESS is now on the back foot, appearing rather foolish in my view. Like a tit.
Oh to be a fly on the wall at GUESS Regent Street and GUESS HQ late this afternoon, following Banksy's Instagram post... Or to have access to the recordings of the multiple, panicky telephone calls that will no doubt have been placed.

Banksy • GUESS Clothing, by Reader on Nov 18, 2022 22:25:39 GMT 1, Banksy had the main point of law on the "bad faith" claim that Full Colour Black aka Brandalised aka the odious Tory simp Andrew Gallagher won last year shortly after he set up Brandalised. A good time for Banksy to flex his new found rights.
The E.U. Board of Appeals overturned the 2021 decision which found Banksy’s trademark of his well-known graffiti monkey to be invalid. "But after Pest Control, Banksy’s authenticating group, filed a trademark for the monkey in 2019, a U.K. greeting card company called Full Colour Black claimed the image wasn’t distinctive enough and that the trademark was filed in bad faith. The E.U. Intellectual Property Office ruled in favor of Full Colour Black, a decision which has now been overturned". The E.U. Board of Appeals recent decision, which found that Full Colour Black failed to prove the trademark was filed in bad faith, allows Banksy to keep the trademark rights of his monkey image while maintaining anonymity.

Banksy • GUESS Clothing, by Daniel Silk on Nov 18, 2022 22:41:49 GMT 1, I wonder if they sold any yesterday before the shit hit the fan?
What's the betting someone, maybe even staff of Guess spot an opportunity to flip some very rare clothing! If most of the stock eventually gets pulled and destroyed?

Banksy • GUESS Clothing, by Daniel Silk on Nov 18, 2022 23:11:00 GMT 1, What might the fallout from this be?
Do Guess gain in publicity but loose in brand image?
Could they end up in a costly legal battle with Brandalism? Might that actually work out nicely for Banksy? 🤔 Guess would of course have the money and legal weight to practically close down Brandalism. Guess could have a very public battle protecting Banksy's images? Turning it into good PR for them, and Banksy would be happy seeming to get his image rights back, Win Win?

The jumpers are awful and it's wrong but theres a silver lining to the decades of B imagery on millions of mugs, tshirts, calendars etc and even the fake shows as sterile and embarrassing as they are, you couldn't buy that exposure, it's ingrained B into the global consciousness. No copyright always seemed a smart move for this artist in particular. It's certainly been of benefit.s**t jumpers though, I can see why it caused a reaction lol |

Anyone here ever shopped at Guess? Their clothes always look incredibly dull to me 🥱 looks like C&A clothes with Gucci price tags. It looks like they are aiming to appeal to people driving a Lambo, but the style looks more like something from a 1970's knitwear catalogue.

I wonder how long they will remain on sale via the Guess website? Will the pull the whole collection? Or will they just sell off the remaining stock online only.

Banksy • GUESS Clothing, by met on Nov 19, 2022 3:16:04 GMT 1, The fact that Full Colour Black aka 'brandalised' are stealing images from other artists (Incwel) attributing them to Banksy and then 'licensing' them to retailers such as Guess shows how incompetent Full Colour Black really are. If anything this is definitive proof that Full Colour Black have no right legally or morally to sell 'Banksy licenses'. They clearly can’t tell their arse from their elbow.
While appreciating and sympathising with the point you're making, I would disagree. Because it conflates two separate issues.
Whether we're discussing the level of competence and knowledge of a business, or of its incompetence and cluelessness, these have nothing to do with that business's legal or moral rights on intellectual property / copyright matters.
I trust my pedantry here will be forgiven.

More than half of the "news" about this wank is just him crying about copyright infringement.
What a rebel....
I suppose if his shit didn't suck for the past 10 years he'd have something else to go on about....
Honestly how long will you go on worshipping this fake?

If you feel bad for this sellout then you should get yourself checked.
The "artist" literally showed you on IG how to print money through that clown shredder stunt. Too daft you all are to see this.

Are you a member or reader of this message board?
Your legal position here seems ironclad and impregnable.
If willing to consider foregoing your anonymity, I would advise instructing a hardcore IP lawyer as a matter of priority.
Borrow money for the initial solicitor's consultation if you have to. Or, given the unique confluence of interests with Banksy and Pest Control Office, it may be that Mark Stephens* is able to secure a litigation bulldog for you on a pro bono or heavily-subsidised basis.
Your Still Sane image featuring Elizabeth II is being used and sold worldwide without your consent. That includes by GUESS France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic, Sweden, Norway, etc.
Even by GUESS Russia:
And so, we aren't just talking about a claim for significant intellectual property infringement and damages, but possibly also for reputational damage.
Enforce your copyright. Take GUESS to the cleaners, in a proper David-versus-Goliath battle.
You may as well go after Urban Outfitters also — and any other retailers that are selling or have sold items from this GUESS x Brandalised collection of apparel and bags.
I believe there is potentially a six-figure sum that awaits. Perhaps even a notable legal precedent, if the matter actually goes to court.
In any event, it should result in an aptly-expensive lesson (including from a branding and public relations perspective) for a presumptuous and brazen-faced multinational corporation.
IncWel – You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!
