When French artist Kidult sprayed the word “Art” on the Marc Jacobs store in SoHo using a fire extinguisher filled with hot pink paint last year, the fashion designer responded by taking a photo of the embellishment and turning it into a ridiculously priced t-shirt ($689 to be exact). This didn’t sit too well with Kidult, and so he decided to once again take aim at Jacobs, this time blasting the designer’s store in Paris with the number 686 in money-green colored paint. “680? 689?…686?! How much are you going to sell this for?” wrote the graffiti enthusiast on Facebook with an image of the freshly bombed store. Naturally, Marc Jacobs couldn’t let a good graffiti deed go unpunished and his company posted this tweet:
Hoping @therealkidult will do an installation @ #MBMJ @ 19 Place Du Marche St. Honore. Going to be an exciting #MFW. pic.twitter.com/x7RBvOiFsj

Please let this be the end of it. UPDATE: If only.
