Obey Pop-Up Store

Obey Pop-Up Store

As I was reading Thursday's New York Times Styles section on my way down to the LES today, I noticed mention of an Obey Clothing Pop-Up Store on Orchard Street. Curious to check it out, Tara and I walked over there from Hamilton Fish. Outside was a long line! (And so we just looked through the window). I can't quite reconcile Obey's often radical, always socially-aware, messages with consumerism. But that's the paradox of much of this blurring of the lines between street art and merchandising.
