Urban Outfitters: Shirt
built 265 days ago
John Foster-Keddie, the 26-year-old Yale graduate who designed the shirt for Urban Outfitters, told MTV News that the shirt was not meant to discourage voting. "This shirt's real intention is to sum up the current state of political affairs, pointing a finger at all of us who've been so apathetic in the past."

Now it would appear that Urban Outfitters has copped his design remaking an extremely similar t-shirt under the 'Urban Renewal' brand. Johnny's original is on the left, the ripoff is on the right. Granted, the whole 'dropping a bomb of x' concept isn't really new, but if Urban Outfitters solicited t-shirts from a designer, they shouldn't be getting anywhere near the same concept if they choose not to license the artist's work.

Heather Fauland is your typical Urban Outfitters (URBN ) shopper. Usually clad in jeans and a witty T-shirt, the 21-year-old Tucson college student turns to Urban for the fashion flair that sets her apart from Gap-ified mainstream teens: a flowing skirt, a blue-and-green striped wallet, and, in reference to the month she spent as a vegan in high school, a red tee with a pig that says: "Please Don't Eat Me, I Love You." But since Christmas, she says, Urban has gone from reliably edgy to simply outré. When passing by the Urban Outfitters near the University of Arizona's Tucson campus, she sniffs at the mannequins sporting tight leggings, a tank top worn over a button-down shirt over a sweater with odd cuts and capped sleeves. "I just don't seem to like their kind of edgy right now," says Fauland. "It looks kind of funny."
