Inside Mob
What: On July 13, 2013, a hundred unsuspecting T by Alexander Wang fans were allowed access to a warehouse full of clothes that were absolutely free. We have choice words to describe what ensued; none are family-friendly. Fortunately, cameras were rolling and a lovely video just got posted on YouTube, so you can see the action for yourself. Was it real or staged? According to Racked, a surprise giveaway did happen, though there was no mention of the utter chaos inside.
