Space Hijackers 'Swap don't Shop' "restyling fashion mash-up event" ASBO Group Dispersal Notice and 'Get out of Jail Free card
"Take your clothes off! Swap them with your friends for FREE!" was the message from the Space Hijackers, who decided to set up their clothes swap - "the restyling fashion mash-up event of the year" - on the lower ground floor of TOPSHOP at Oxford Circus. The idea was to demonstrate that "we don't need to spend money we don't have on things we don't need." The action, designed as it was to subvert one of the iconic temples of consumerism seemed to baffle police and didn't amuse the security staff, and after a few minutes they had to continue on the pavement outside, still getting a little harassment from police and the West End red caps - private security
