Tagline @AlexanderWang WE DID IT FIRST!
Story Alexander Wang “drew inspiration” from our paper bag to launch his new handbag. ​ We called him out and we served it as fast as we serve our food. On the same day, we had posted our parody on @McDonaldsksa and we tagged him in front of all his followers: @Alexanderwang, we did it first. ​ Our post trended upon fashion influencers and outlets, in Saudi and around the world. Wang went on to collaborate with McDonald’s to launch a collection called I’m Wangin’ it. With one parody post, McDonald’s Saudi Arabia had turned into a fashion movement.
