While the rest of the nation gave itself permission to freak out over the surprise announcement of The Life Of Pablo pop-up stores in Australia this weekend, Melbourne-based Knightley was probs wondering what the inevitable chaos would mean for her store next door.
According to a post stuck on a generic Kanye FB page yesterday, the ensuing crowds were actually bloody fantastic – for Yeezy.
“From one retailer to another our customer bases are quite different so when your customer swear at my little old lady customers who are just trying to come in to buy an album to protect their war time treasures, it’s a bit of a problem.”
The now-viral post also claims the seven-hundred strong line for the pop-up deterred enough customers to carve a $6K hole into Zetta Florence’s expected weekend takings.
In response, Knightley makes a pretty cheeky entreaty for the man himself (or Kim, either or) to burl a cheque her way.
Audacious, sure, but also the kind of ballsy move that could conceivably capture the man’s attention. Check out the full post below:
