Fab Flash: McLaren is Concerned by Fakes

More specifically, McLaren is today accusing Simon Easton of selling a significant amount of fake Seditionaries designs to unwitting clients
McLaren told WWD, “I would never have thought 30 years ago when I was making this stuff on my kitchen table that someone would want to copy it like a Goya or a Van Gogh.”
