Fun Fashion pt. 2: Duplicating Walmart

From WebUrbanist:


Shopdropping  Walmart Clothing Art Project

Zoe Saldana has put a great deal of effort into an art project that the future owners of will never appreciate. Wait, how does that work? Well, she buys items from Walmart and carefully replicates them by hand down to the pattern, fabric and embellishments. She then swaps her handmade creations for the one she purchased, adds the original tags and ‘returns’ them to Walmart for future sale. Above on the left are images of the originals, and the photographs on the right show the returned duplicates.


This story makes me laugh every time. I wonder if anyone noticed that this 'Faded Glory' t-shirt is different from all the rest. I bet Walmart employees could care less, but a discerning shopper probably noticed and became very confused.
