we smell a rat

October 7, 2008 5:00 pm

You may have noticed the new Banksy murals that went up last week in Soho. The three building-size images of rats seem to be commenting on the ongoing financial crisis, but we couldn’t help but think of Marc Jacobs‘ new Stinky Rat collection, in which the designer teamed up with graffiti artist KAWS for a tenth anniversary reimagining of his iconic mouse flats (the KAWS version of the flats features the artist’s signature X’ed-out eyes). So if the Jacobs lead is something to follow—and it generally is—street art and rodents are in.
