There have been rumors flying around the internet over the
past week that KAWS will be closing down his OriginalFake brand and store this
year. Brain decided to release a statement last night addressing the rumors first
hand and has indeed confirmed OF's closing to move on to bigger and better
things.
“May 2013 marks the seventh year anniversary of OriginalFake, and it is at this
time that Medicom Toy and I have chosen to close the shop and company. It's
been an amazing opportunity to work with Medicom Toy on this project as well as
working with Masamichi Katayama of Wonder Wall to create the interior of the
shop and Konno of Nexus7 who's incredible talent really added sophistication to
the clothing that we produced. I really want to thank the staff in production
as well as in our shop. If you ever entered our shop you already know how
awesome they are! I would also like to thank all the companies that
collaborated with us, your friendship and support has always really meant a
lot, and to everyone who has supported OriginalFake,THANK YOU! and I hope to see
you all in the
next chapter!”
