Unauthorised Burberry Buttons
May 9th, 2007
Design: Tobias Wong
Client: Self Manufacture
Date: 1999
Tobias handed out hundreds of these pirate Burberry plaid pins at events around NYC. “A year later, in spring 2000, Burberry themselves caught sight of this ‘street trend’ and adapted them into their advertising campaign. The buttons were visible in fashion magazines, billboards, and catalogs – a knock-off of a knock-off”.
