Banksy has accused fashion brand Guess of using his work on a clothing collection without permission. The elusive artist posted an image of items on display in the window of Guess’s store on Regent Street in London.

He wrote: "Attention all shoplifters. Please go to Guess on Regent Street. They’ve helped themselves to my artwork without asking, how can it be wrong for you to do the same to their clothes?”
