Marc Jacobs has converted the 'graffiti attack' on his Paris boutique into an expensive t-shirt.

An anti-fashion activist, Kidult, was responsible for the attack on Jacobs' store.

Kidult also targeted the American fashion designer on Twitter by posting a pic of the freshly painted giant green "686 dollars" and dollar signs that he painted on the storefront, the New York Daily News reported.

Along with the snap, the self-styled "visual dictator" wrote, " how much are you going to sell this for".

Jacobs responded to the comment with a tongue-in-cheek promotion, which read "Come by Paris Collection for the opening night installation of the new @therealkidult."

 

The message asserted that they proudly support the arts.
