The real graffiti bags

Last year, high fashion designers (including Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano and Dolce & Gabbana) were pretty upfront about using working class culture as inspiration for the ghetto fabulous trend. Now, the traditionally working class art of graffiti is being hijacked by bourgeois designers to help sell their expensive wares.
